THE 24th edition of the R&R International-sponsored 40-mile cycle road race will be held tomorrow in the West Demerara area.Local wheelers will face the starter at 08:00hrs at the Demerara Harbour Bridge and the seniors and juniors will journey to Bushy Park, East Bank Essequibo, before returning to the place of origin for the finish.

The Hassan Mohamed-organised event will see the veterans, ladies and mountain bikers turn back at Uitvlugt and finish at the Harbour Bridge also.
The cream of the country’s cyclists are expected to line up for what is anticipated to be a very exciting race and this makes the event one that should not be missed.
Among the cyclists to wheel off tomorrow are; Christopher Holder, Marlon `Fishy’ Williams, Michael Anthony, Orville Hinds, Raynauth Jeffrey, Alanzo Greaves and Paul DeNobrega.
Williams, Holder, Anthony, Jeffrey and Hinds should be among the top six finishers as, since the 2015 cycling season opened a few weeks ago, they have been very dominant in both National Park races as well as the two road races that have been staged so far.
Williams won the 2015 season opener by winning the Ricks and Sari-sponsored feature 35-lap event in the National Park, while his Team Evolution club mate Anthony won the Benjamin’s Cycle Sports Store-sponsored 50-mile cycle road race in Berbice.
Holder won the National Sports Commission-sponsored 40-mile road race last Sunday in the West Demerara region.
Anthony is the defending champion. He clocked one hour 41 minutes in winning last year, and by virtue of his winning the overall title, he also grabbed the junior title.
Robin Persaud won the Veterans category last year but will have to sit out this year due to an injury he sustained over a week ago.
Ozia McAully will be defending his mountain bike category while Tashawna Doris is the defending champion in the Ladies category.
