Local riders are in for a busy weekend with the staging of two cycling events in different parts of the country.
On Saturday, Assuria Insurance Company will venture into the sport of cycling for the first time, by providing full sponsorship for an 11-race Meet at the Inner Circuit of the National Park. That event will commence at 09:00 hours and will conclude with the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race.
Among the other races carded for the day are the BMX age group categories, veterans, uprights and mountain bikes.
Representatives of the company, including Assistant General Manager, Yogindra Arjune, will be on hand to assist with the presentation of prizes.
On Sunday, the action switches to the West Demerara roadway for the 5th annual Cheddi Jagan memorial 50-miler.
The race will pedal off at 09:00 hours at Wales; proceed to Bushy Park, Parika, before returning to the Demerara Harbour Bridge for the finish. Veterans, uprights and female riders will turn at Uitvlugt Ground on the upward journey and finish at the Harbour Bridge.
Paul DeNobrega is the defending champion of the senior race, having won last year’s race in a time of One Hour 59 Minutes 24 Seconds.
DeNobrega also won the junior category last year, but he has since graduated to the senior level, making way for a new champion to be crowned this year. Talim Shaw (Veterans Open), Dexter Wilson (Upright), Naomi Singh (Female) and Walter Isaacs (Veterans Over-60) are the defending champions of the other categories.
Sunday’s race will be sponsored by Krishna Samlall, a businessman of Parika.
