Rain postpones Jagan Memorial cycle race in Berbice 

The heavy rainfall countrywide halted numerous sporting events over the weekend. The Jagan Memorial cycle race, which was set for March 29, was among those affected.
According to the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF), safety is paramount, and the adverse weather conditions would have been high risk for cyclists.
“Due to the adverse weather conditions and thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow (Sunday, March 29), the People’s Progressive Party/Civic has officially postponed the second leg of the Cheddi Jagan Memorial Cycle Road Race, which was scheduled to be held in Berbice.

“The safety of all cyclists, officials, and spectators remains the top priority. As such, this decision was made in the best interest of everyone involved.”
“Participants and supporters are kindly asked to stay tuned for a new date, which will be announced at a later time. We appreciate your understanding and continued support,” the Guyana Cycling Federation posted.
The race was set to be held along the Corentyne corridor to the Number 51 Police Station before making the turn and heading to Babu Jaan for the finish.
Prizes were expected to be awarded across multiple divisions, with the General Classification rewarding the top six finishers. The Veterans Open category was to cater for its top four riders, while the Veterans Over-50 division was to award its top three competitors, all of whom would have finished at Babu Jaan on the upward journey.
The Juniors, Category Four, and Ladies divisions were also to be contested, each offering prizes for the top three finishers. Similar to the Veterans Over-50 category, the Ladies competitors were to conclude their race at Babu Jaan on the upward leg of the course.
To add further competition throughout the event, 10 prime points were to be available along the route, providing opportunities for riders to secure intermediate rewards.
The organisers will monitor the weather conditions and the race could return to the Ancient County.
