HAVING not been able to run-off the annual Linden CYCLING Classic, staged during the Linden Town Week period, the Bauxite Flyers Cycling Club finally got its promotion done last Sunday at the Mackenzie Circuit, where veteran cyclist Nigel London captured the top honours in the ten-lap event.

In the main event, staged along with other races for the day, London out-rode his rivals to win from former National Champion Orville Hinds, who copped second place ahead of Delroy Hinds, with another veteran, Garfield Lorrimer coming fourth, followed by Denzil Huntley, who took fifth from Ryan Austin, who ended in the sixth position.

Savannah Hyles came in first among the juveniles, as Shaphone Douglas won the Boys BMX, with Karen DeSouza taking second position.

Despite being unable to host all the planned races for the day, it was satisfying for the promoters, who thanked the sponsors for the events, namely: Guyana Breweries, using their Ginseng brand; Aurora Gold Mines (AGM); and Professional Keyshop.

The Linden Bauxite Flyers Cycling Club intends to team up with the Linden Riverfront Festival Committee to stage another promotion for Linden cyclists, this time under the name, the Riverfront Festival Sprints, on July 3. (Joe Chapman)
