The cream of Guyana’s cyclists including those selected for the junior and elite Caribbean championships will tomorrow contest the 12th annual Victor Macedo Memorial 70-mile road race including defending senior champion, Marlon ‘Fishy’ Williams.
Proceedings will get underway with a rolling start at 07:30hrs from Peter Rose Street, Queenstown and will see competitors proceeding to the official starting point, Homestretch Avenue.
Senior and junior riders will proceed to Long Creek on the Linden Soesdyke Highway before making their way back to Homestretch Avenue for the finish. A total of 12 primes would be up for the taking with the top eight senior and top four junior riders set to be handsomely rewarded as over $300,000 in cash would be at stake.
The juvenile, mountain bike and veteran competitors will be battling for six primes during the course of their journey, which would see them turning back at Splashmin’s, also on the Linden Soesdyke Highway. First to third place in these categories will receive cash incentives. Flying Stars Cycle Club is the organizer of this annual event.
Meanwhile, The Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) has stated that a number of riders have to date not applied for their 2014 license; the deadline was May 31, 2014. Cyclists who do not produce their license and are attired in their club uniform would not be allowed to compete according to the GCF unless they pay $5000, while the license for the year is tagged at $2000.
The only properly uniformed club on a consistent basis is Team Coco’s.
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
