Cyclist Roy Millington in a time of two hours, 10 minutes rode away with
the Flying Ace Cycle Club, Easter road race which was held on Sunday last. The race, which was for cyclist of the club only, began at Marks Bridge in New Amsterdam and proceeded to Bush Lot Farm on the Corentyne before turning back to end at its point of origin, covering a distance of 44 miles.
In second place was favourite Neil Reece with Wasim Hasnoo third and Rohan Persaud fourth.
The four top finishers broke away from the bunch early with Hasnoo making a further break and opening up a lead. Soon he was pulled in by the other three as they continued their battle. Millington then made a move for it and broke away from the quartet and was never caught. Millington was in devastating form as he rode most of the race alone picking up five of the six prime prizes in the process. The other went to Hasnoo.
Reece, who is back from injury, eventual broke away from the three cyclists and made a last gasp effort to catch the leader, but Millington was too good on his day, with Reece finishing a distant second and is yet to secure a victory for the year.
The juvenile category was won again by the promising Andre Green ahead of Osward Ross, Sherwin Park and Trayon Brush in that order. Syborne Fernandes continues to be the only veteran and finished untroubled.
Andrew Hicks rode alone in the 12-14 Category to complete the 25-mile distance from Rose Hall Town to New Amsterdam.
The event was sponsored by Watson’s Catering of New Amsterdam, Fairfield Rice Inc. of Mahaicony and former cyclist, Jadgesh Ramjug.
The event was coordinated by coach of the Flying Ace Cycle Club, Randolph Roberts.
The next race meet on the Flying Ace calendar is set for Labour Day to be followed by the annual Stretch the Dollar open event sponsored by Businessman and former cyclist Rudolph Blair, owner of the business establishment.
