CYCLISTS will return to action this weekend in the annual R&R International cycling double-header. First they will compete in the 11-race cycling meet at the inner circuit of the National Park before heading to the roadways of West Demerara to cover the 46-mile distance.

Hamzah Eastman became the first cyclist to claim the double-header, last year, after impressive performances at both meets landed him the winner’s trophy. However, it is unclear whether Eastman will be present to defend his titles.

Eastman completed the 46-mile route in a time of one hour 43 minutes 14 seconds (01:43:14) to cop top spot.
He had to fend off fierce competition and heavy rain but did so just ahead of Paul De Nobrega (Team Evolution).

We Stand United’s Deeraj Garbarran finished third while Trojan’s Romello Crawford clocked in fourth and Jamual John (Coco’s) and Christopher Griffith (Evolution) completed the top six in that order.

Meanwhile, following this weekend’s action, next Sunday (February 17) will see the LFS Burnham Memorial 48 Miles Road Race (Corriverton to New Amsterdam) pedal off.
