Balram Narine was once again in winners row when the rode away from the field to win the Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC) third annual Father’s Day cycling event. The race which was for cyclists of the FACC only, saw the riders riding 10 laps around the town of New Amsterdam.
The event pedal off after 14:15hrs with 30 cyclists taking to the starting line. The race which was off to a late start due to the inclement weather saw Narine demolishing his opponents to win in a time of 47 minutes.
As the riders were sent on their way it was Narine who led from the start as he completely dominated proceedings to take all eight sprint prizes up for offer.
Ralph Seenarine, Jeremiah Joseph and Mario Washington occupied the other three spots.
Joseph was the top cyclist in the junior category with Washington and Steve Bhimsen occupying the other two spots.
Syborne Fernandes and Wilbert Benjamin were the top veteran on show.
Aaron Rajnarine was the first 12-14 cyclist to cross the finish line with Shazim Yakub and Sachin Karan occupying the other spots in the three laps event.
The outstanding riders were presented with trophies, while Narine also received a cash incentive.
New Amsterdam Mayor Winifred Haywood congratulated the FACC and Coach Randolph Roberts for organising the event and a job well done.
Roberts in response had plenty words of praise for Mayor Haywood for her unstinted support since become Mayor of the town in keeping the sport alive. He also thanked the business community for their continued support in keeping cycling alive in Berbice.
Roberts also said that the event was used as a warm up to prepare cyclists of the FACC to participate in the National Cycling Championships to be held in Georgetown this weekend. (Samuel Whyte)
