COMPETITIVE cycling is set to return to the inner circuit of the National Park on Saturday (May 19) with the Banks DIH-sponsored Powerade 11-race cycling programme organised by National cycling coach Hassan Mohamed.

The event is being sponsored for the seventh consecutive year by the beverage giant through its Powerade sports drink brand and is set to pedal off at 09:00hrs.
The programme is set to showcase some of the best young talent and possibly the next generation of Guyanese cycling.

Young boys and girls will compete in the BMX 6-9, 9-12, 12-14, Open and BMX Boys and Girls.

The more experienced riders and cream of the crop of Guyana’s cyclists will then take centre stage in the Juniors/Juveniles, Veterans Under-50 and Over-50 and Mountain Bikes.
Meanwhile, following the United We Stand CC 3-Stage meet, the feature 35-lap Schoolboys and Invitational race should attract some of the big names such as Jamual John (Coco’s), Paul De Nobrega (Evolution), Curtis Dey (Trojan PSL), Alonzo Ambrose (Team Alanis) and many others.

John is in red-hot form, having copped the overall title for the United We Stand CC 3-Stage race. However, De Nobrega and Dey will be looking to go one better this time around, as the race for the number one cycling spot in Guyana heats up.
