THE 14th annual Hand-in-Hand Mutual Fire and Life Insurance 11-race cycling programme is set for Saturday (October 6) and is being organised by National cycling coach Hassan Mohamed.
Cyclists will assemble in the National Park from 09.00hrs to compete for top honours and accolades across five categories.
The five categories are the 12-14 years Three-lap race, Veterans’ U-50 5-Laps, Mountain Bikes 5-laps, Junior/Juveniles 10-laps and the feature 35-laps Schoolboys and Invitational race.
Last year Jonathan Ramsuchit took the Boys’ and Girls’ 12-14 years event and will be looking to replicate that feat while Warren ‘40’ McKay is the defending Veterans’ U-50 champion.
Shane Bourne won the Mountain Bikes 5-laps race and will be hard-pressed to defend that title; Nigel Duguid is the reigning Junior/Juvenile rider and the effervescent Geron Williams is the defending champion of the 35-laps feature event which he won last year in one hour 16 minutes 16 seconds.
The Marketing Director at Hand-in-Hand, Shafeena Juman, along with other staff members will be there to witness the action and distribute prizes.
