Cyclists will be eager to get in some much needed competitive practice ahead of the 31st annual Three Stage National Sports Commission sponsored Road Race and will have that opportunity when the Second Annual Joseph Pollydore 11-Race Meet comes off at the National Park on Saturday.
Riders in all categories will have the opportunity to compete in the event which is being sponsored Banks DIH under their Powerade brand. The event is organised by National Coach Hassan Mohamed MS.
Pollydore was a former President of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) and also President of the Kaieteur Cycle Club; he was also father of leading Guyanese rider, Godfrey Pollydore.
The late Pollydore even though with age and sickness was not as mobile as he would have liked, ensured that he attended all cycling events around Guyana up to the time of his demise.
Following are the events for Saturday’s Powerade Meet:
