Packed weekend of Cycling anticipated

– Grueling 70-Mile Road race set for Sunday

As the cycling season winds down, United We Stand Cycling Club has organized a packed weekend of meets beginning with the “Dash for Cash” cycling meet set for the inner circuit of the National Park on Saturday.

Guyana’s top cyclists will once again take on the road this time it is a 70-mile race on Sunday

The action will begin at 08:00h on Saturday with at least seven races slated for the day; the main event will be the 30-Lap “Dash for Cash” race where cyclists will have the opportunity to win cash prizes in every lap of the race. Among the cyclists slated to compete will be the red hot Jamual John, Geron Williams, Paul DeNobrega and other top cyclists.
Meanwhile, on Sunday the cyclists will take to the road ways in a 70-mile road race from Homestretch avenue to Long Creek on the Linden/Soesdyke Highway before returning to the point of origin for the finish.
John will head into that race on the back of a comprehensive victory over his rivals Williams and DeNobrega just two weeks back in Powerade’s 50-Miler. However Williams will be looking for revenge while DeNobrega is seeking to show that he can match his rivals.
The race will begin at 8:00h at the National Sports Commission (NSC) Headquarters on Homestretch Avenue.
The presentation for the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) Points race will be held on Saturday afternoon at 17:00h at a venue to be announced however, the Windjammer International Hotel is a potential venue.
