The third stage in the second annual Cheddi Jagan Memorial 50 mile cycle road race will pedal off tomorrow morning from 9am.
The cyclists will ride from Supenaam to Charity and back to Anna Regina for the finish.

The first six finishers in today’s race will receive prizes along with the eight sprint prizes that are up for grabs. The first three junior and upright cyclists will also receive prizes along with the first three veterans who will be pedalling off from Anna Regina to Charity and back to the starting point for the finish.
