Open to Berbice cyclists only, this race, which commences from 9:00h and is organized by Cycling Coach and popular organizer Randolph Roberts, marks the first of such activities for 2020 in Berbice, and Massy Distributions have thrown their support behind it, having made a presentation to Roberts on Tuesday last.
The first five finishers in the Open category would be awarded prizes, as would the first two juveniles and the first three 12-14 riders. The 12-14 riders will traverse from Benjamin Sports to Alexander Street for the finish.
Eight sprint prizes will be up for grabs in the battle of the Berbicians. This race is expected to feature the likes of Balram Narine, Andre ‘Padlock’ Green, Romello Crawford, Ajay Gopilall and Mario Washington, among others.
