BERBICIAN Balram Narine was on song on home turf, copping the Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC) Pre-Father’s Day 40-miles cycle road race, held last Sunday along the New Amsterdam/Canje/East Coast Berbice and Corentyne Highways.

At 10:30hrs, the cyclists pedalled off from the junction of Main and Alexander Streets in New Amsterdam; proceeded along the Corentyne Coast to Adventure Police Station before returning to finish at the point of origin.

Narine clocked one hour 45 minutes to beat a field of 16 riders.

Meanwhile Clement Doris settled for second with Steven Fernandes coming in third ahead of Donovan Fraser and Odrel Ross.

En route to victory, Narine rode away with five sprint prizes, while Ross copped one.

Veteran riders (Over-60) Daniel Rigby and Calvin Persaud were given special prizes for their efforts while one young cyclist was presented with a special prize by the owners of Rockefeller Sound System for his outstanding ride.

Among the donors were the Fix It Electronics, Gadget World and Rental, J Supermarket, North West Trading and John Lewis among others.

FACC coach Randolph Roberts was instrumental in organising the event.
