NATIONAL cycling coach Hassan Mohamed will organise the second leg of the 21st annual Cheddi Jagan Memorial cycling road race on the West Bank of Demerara on Sunday.
The race, which will pedal off at 08:30hrs from the Demerara Harbour Bridge (West Bank) and proceed to Bushy Park, East Bank Essequibo, before finishing at the point of origin, is expected to see top quality riding from a number of cyclists.
GDF’s Alonzo Ambrose took the first leg in Berbice on Sunday. He held off tough competition from Team Coco’s Jamual John who had to settle for second place this time around. The other top six places went to Andre ‘padlock’ Greene (third), Paul DeNobrega (fourth), Andrew Hicks (fifth) and Christopher ‘chicken legs’ Griffith in sixth.
At last year’s edition, Curtis Dey was the victorious junior rider. This time around the title is up for grabs.
Meanwhile the Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycling Club will host its Annual Baker’s Memorial Classic on April 8. The race is expected to begin promptly at 08:00hrs.
Last year, in the senior category, which saw the riders battle over 60 miles, Raynauth Jeffrey chalked up his second win in the six-year history of the event.
