Local cyclists will have a huge test of fitness when they engaged in what is expected to be a gruelling 125-mile race to Linden on Sunday. The event is organised by top cyclist and Team Evolution rider Marlon ‘Fishy’ Williams and will begin at DSL (on the back road) from 05:30 hrs.
The race will proceed to Linden where a warm meal will be provided and then the group will return to the point of origin. The riders plan to ride controlled speeds of 18- 20 mph. There will be food and beverages for all cyclists, also mechanical support and spares free of cost. 
According to Williams, the event should last for approximately seven and half hours which will give the riders great test since it is the early part of the season and he is expecting close to 70 riders to attend.
The race comes on the heels of Sunday’s blistering test which began from just outside the National Sports Commission (NSC) headquarters on Homestretch Avenue, preceded to Long Creek on the Linden/Soesdyke Highway and then back to the point of origin for the finish.
That event saw Cortis “Chappy” Dey, Romello Crawford hold-off 2017’s top cyclist Jamual John on the back stretch to cross the finish line and claim first place and 15 points in the Guyana Cycling Federation’s (GCF) first ‘Points’ race of 2018.
Williams expressed immense appreciation for the assistance of Land of Canaan’s Doolie’s Bakery and NK’s Eatery and Smoothie Café in Linden.
