NATIONAL and senior cyclist Marlon ‘Fishy’ Williams has organised a 125-mile cycling group ride for Sunday as a good faith initiative.
The idea has thus far attracted the attention of a lot of cyclists and even some private entities along with other individuals.
Cycling club Team Evolution has come on board the event and has donated snacks among other things to the group ride.
The club will also be donating beverages, sandwiches and eight ‘massive’ chickens to Sunday’s 125-mile group ride.
Andrew Arjoon of Team Evolution revealed that the club is pleased to be associated with the event and is encouraging all bike riders (recreational and competitive) to come out and enjoy the ride to Linden Town in a safe and controlled group.
Speaking to Chronicle Sport last Friday afternoon, Williams revealed that it is “the start of something new which I plan to continue to do across the country”.
“Apart from the registered cyclists there are a lot of people with bikes who are enjoying the sport. They will have a chance to ride with the racers at this event,” he noted.
The group ride will begin at DSL on the Back Road at 05:30hrs and proceed to Linden where a warm meal will be provided. The group will then return to Georgetown.
The cyclists have all planned to ride at controlled speeds of 18- 20 mph. There will be food and beverages for all cyclists, also mechanical support and spares. Everything is free.
