The cycle road race sponsored by former national cycling champion, overseas based Wilbert Benjamin and organised by the Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC) in observance of Benjamin’s father Sanko Benjamin, 80th birth anniversary, will now be held on Monday 24th February instead of the scheduled February 23rd date.
This change has come about due to the fact that there is another cycling event in Georgetown scheduled for that date. Benjamin, a former junior and senior champion who represented Guyana at both levels and now resides in Canada, is expected home shortly to finalise arrangements for the event.
Benjamin who still rides in his adopted home country has since opened a Cycle shop and sports store in his home village of Fyrish, Corentyne Berbice. He returns home on a regular basis to sponsor races and do other charity activities. He has sponsored one cycling event so far for the year in Berbice which was the first event on the cycling calendar for 2014.
The event is expected to be a 40 mile affair and is expected to pedal off from Fyrish Village in front of the Benjamin Sports Store, proceed to No.51 Police Station and back to the starting point. The race is open to cyclists throughout Guyana.
The elder Benjamin is expected to be on hand to send the riders on their way and help with the presentation and distribution of prizes.
All the top cyclists in the country are expected to participate in their quest to take the early advantage. The race will be coordinated by Coach Randolph Roberts.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
