RORAIMA Bikers Club’s Alanzo Greaves will be out to make a successful defence of his Payless Variety Store win when national cycling coach Hassan Mohamed coordinates the third annual event around the inner circuit of the National Park this Saturday from 09:00hrs.

Last year, Greaves returned a time of 1h. 18mins: 07.05secs in winning the event and will be facing up to the likes of Geron Williams, Paul DeNobrega, Marlon `Fishy’ Williams and Orville Hinds who have all been in good nick recently.
Last Saturday’s Troy Humphrey Memorial cycling programme saw the return of Team Coco’s to competitive cycling, hence riders such as Raynauth ‘Obeah Man’ Jeffrey, Hamza Eastman, Christopher Holder, Mark Harris and Andre Abdool will be in action.
The day’s 11-race card will also see Eastman defend his juvenile 10-lap title which he won last year in a time of 25 mins: 50 secs, while Shameer Baksh is expected to defend his Veterans’ Under-50 title which he also won last year in a time of 12mins :14 secs.
Jamal John and Richard Charles will be going all out to defend their Boys 12-14 years three-lap race and mountain bikers’ five-lap race respectively which they won last year, with both of them stopping the clock at 14 mins.06 secs.
Greaves will be beaming with confidence come Saturday but winning the feature event will be a humongous task since his fellow riders especially the unrelated Geron and Marlon Williams will be looking to grab the spoils.
Geron Williams and Jeffrey especially will be using this event as preparation for the upcoming Central American and Caribbean Games scheduled for Mexico later this month, making the feature event a highly competitive one.
