SEVERAL members of the Guyana Cycling Association of North America (GCANA) met recently for their fourth annual reunion and fundraising dance at the Woodbine Ballroom, Brooklyn, New York, making it the premier event on the association’s calendar.
A large cross-section of Guyanese in the Diaspora attended, including present and former cycling stars, their families and fans. According to reports, the association has renewed its commitment towards raising the standard of cycling in Guyana and will continue utilising proceeds from these fundraising ventures towards this goal.
The GCANA steering committee in a release expressed their gratitude to everyone who assisted in making the event a memorable success.
Williams Caribbean Shipping, Caribbean Cargo DC, Woodbine Ballroom, Precious Group Family Daycare, DJ Colin and DJ Hanna also received special expressions of gratitude for their support.
Meanwhile, a source close to GCANA has disclosed that the association intends to have a Veterans (Masters) team compete in Guyana’s ‘Ride for Life’ Five-Stage Road Race which will be staged later this year.
Bruce Camacho, who won the Masters criterium and was second in the road race, along with Aubrey Gordon who placed third in his criterium race at last year’s Masters World Games in Turin, Italy, will spearhead the team.
