THE 17TH ANNUAL Troy Humphrey Memorial Cycle programme, organised by Roraima Bikers Club, will be staged on Saturday around the inner circuit of the National Park beginning at 09:30hrs.

The eight-race programme is being staged in memory of a former leading cyclist whose life was snuffed out following an accident in 1996, when his motorcycle collided with a motor vehicle on Carifesta Avenue.
All eight races are for the various categories of cyclists and will carry cash prizes, with the feature event being for categories one to three cyclists and will be over 30 laps, with the winner taking home $30 000, while the other top five finishers will receive $20 000, $10 000, $8 000, $6 000 and $5 000 respectively.
Category Four and junior riders will contest a 15-lap race and the top four finishers will receive cash prizes.
Juvenile cyclists will compete for five laps and the top three finishers will also receive cash prizes as will the veterans Under-50 years and veterans Over-50 years. Both veteran races will be over five laps.
There will also be a five-lap race for mountain bikers and an eight-lap `win and out’ novelty event for all cyclists desirous of competing.
Most of the country’s top seniors are expected to be a part of the day’s activity including the recently crowned `Ride for Life’ five-stage winner Robin Persaud, Geron Williams, Alanzo Greaves and Marlon `Fishy’ Williams among others.
Michael Anthony, Paul DeNobrega and Hamza Eastman, who are all junior riders are also expected to contest the feature event, while some of the veterans expected to participate are Junior Niles, Linden Blackman, Paul Cho-Wee-Nam and Kennard Lovell.
