The race is open to all categories of cyclists throughout the country. According to cyclist and organiser of the race, Paul Choweenam of Team Alanis, the over-50 riders and ladies will battle for a total of 40 miles. Choweenam encouraged everyone to support the race, and he urged riders to stay in shape and race, because some big races loom in July.
The last open cycling race in Guyana saw the Team Evolution boys dominate that Father’s Day race. It was Christopher Griffith who won the close contest, clocking one hour 41 minutes and 36 seconds.
National champion Suzanne Hamilton will aim to continue her hot streak
With the likes of national champion Romello Crawford and top-of-the-line riders Raynauth Jeffrey, Michael Anthony, Jamual John and Briton John still on overseas duty, Team Evolution will look to extend dominance as the riders battle for supremacy.
In the female category, national champion Suzanne Hamilton will also look to continue her hot streak. The COVID-19 task force has continued to grant permission for cycling and the Guyana Police Force continues to play an integral role in cycling events.
