Cyclists from Regions 5 and 6 are set to return to the roadways this Sunday when the Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC) stages a 40-mile race. The event will peddle off from Marks Bridge, New Amsterdam; proceed to Adventure Village before returning to New Amsterdam for the finish at Main and Alexander Streets.
Riders from both the FACC and Trojan Cycle Club are expected to compete as they renew battle for supremacy in the Ancient County. Prizes will be handed to the first six finishers while six sprint prizes will also be at stake.
Among those expected to be on show are Andrea ‘Padlock’ Green, Ray Millington, Romallo and Juban Crawford, Elijah Brijadar, Andrew Hicks, Wasim Hassnu, Audrel Ross, Edmond Francis, Keith Griffith, Gary Benjamin, Turhan Harris and Syborne Fernandez as well as female rider Marcia Dick will all be on show.
On Wednesday, ART Sawmilling Enterprise presented the winning trophy and cash incentives to organizer and Coach of FACC Mr. Randolph Roberts at the business entity. Roberts thanked his benefactor and all the other entities who have contributed towards the activity.
He noted that cycling is an expensive sport and needs the support of
businesses and other members of the community. Roberts noted that it also helps to keep the youngsters off the road and away from illicit activities and trouble.
The other sponsors of the race are Homline Furnishing, Tripple ‘S’ Taxi Service, Arokium Funeral Home and Acting Commander of B Division, Senior Superintendant Marlon Chapman.
