WITH the aim of further resuscitating cycling around the Seawall Bandstand, the Roraima Bikers Club (RBC) will once again host a 10 race cycling programme, their fifth for the year and this time in conjunction with Bryden and Fernandes, a subsidiary of John Fernandes Group of Companies this Sunday from 10:00 hours. President of the RBC Brian Allen said the aim of utilising the Seawall Bandstand is to generate spectators’ interest in the sport, and he’s pleased that Bryden and Fernandes has seen it fit to assist in this regard.
Earlier this month, the club in partnership with the National Milling Company (Namilco), attracted a massive crowd at the same venue, when they hosted the 10th annual Caricom Day event, and Allen is confident that Sunday’s activity will be just as successful.
Leading cyclists from across the country will compete in the main event, the Bryden and Fernandes Classic, which will go for 30-laps, and carries a top prize of $10,000, with the top six finishers all set to receive cash incentives.
Other races carded for the day include the 12-14 Juveniles (three laps), Junior/Catgory Four (five laps), Category 1-3 (five laps), Veteran Over-50 (five laps), Veteran Under-50 (five laps), Team Time Trial (four laps), Win and Out (eight laps), Mountain Bike Open (five laps) and Female Open (five laps), wherein the top three finishers in these races will collect cash awards.
At a simple presentation ceremony, Marketing Director of John Fernandes Group Bernie Fernandes handed over a cheque for an undisclosed sum as his company’s sponsorship towards Sunday’s event to Allen, noting that they are pleased to partner with the club in the development of cycling.
