We Stand United Cycle Club…

Members of the We Stand United Cycle Club (WSUCC) were recently presented with new uniforms and other equipment as the club continues supporting its members.

Club owner Horace Burrowes procured the custom-made uniforms — plus tyres, tubes and chains — in his adopted homeland of the USA, and the items were presented to club members by WSUCC president Franklin Wilson.
Among the members of this club are leading local cyclists Briton John, Warren ‘Forty’ McKay and Raymond ‘Steely’ Newton. These athletes are seasoned campaigners and co-captains of the club.
In handing over the items to club members, Wilson expressed sincere gratitude to Burrowes for his continued commitment to the individual and collective development of the club.
“Mr. Burrowes has shown tangible, unflinching support towards this club over the years, and we must express gratitude to him and his family for their continued support. It is now up to you, as cyclists, to show gratitude by being the best you can possibly be when you take to the road and track to showcase your talent,” Wilson declared.
“This sport is not a cheap sport, and we are all aware of what it takes financially to equip each rider to be able to perform. So, we are thankful to Horace once again for being the backbone for this club over the years. We have some exciting young riders, and we intend to give each of you the opportunity to shine for yourself and country.”
Wilson has encouraged the cyclists to be very disciplined, and to follow the advice of the Ministry of Public Health during these testing times of the COVID–19 world pandemic.
McKay and Newton both endorsed Wilson’s statements to the members of the club, especially in regard to the coronavirus, and each implored the riders to protect themselves at all cost.
They also encouraged club members to equip their cycles with the necessary items, as that would allow them to be safe when riding the roadways; and they encouraged club members to look out for each other.
Burrowes spoke with club members via the club’s WhatsApp group. He said he was more than happy to be able to continue supporting them, especially the young riders, whom he promised to continue supporting.
“We are happy to have some exciting and talented cyclists, whom I would continue to invest in to see them excel for themselves and our country. They need the help, and I am committed to assisting. (It is) something I have been doing for some years now. It’s a sport that I dearly love, and I would continue to give my all to see these guys do well.
“I must also say that we have some very experienced and dedicated stalwarts, the likes of our co-captains; and their experience would serve this club well,” he declared.
The co-captains also expressed gratitude to Burrowes for his commitment to the club and to each rider. They noted that he has been advising and working with them when it comes to training the club members. It was also pledged that the WSUCC would be focusing on the holistic development of its members.
