The inner circuit of the National Park will be transformed into a speedway today when National Cycling Coach Hassan Mohamed and Geddes Grant (Guyana) Limited, through its Seven Seas range of products, team up to host an 11-race programme.
The event which is in its ninth year will pedal off at 09:00 and is scheduled to attract the country’s best riders competing for top honours.
The gruelling 35-lap Invitational race is the feature event with Lindener Mark Lewis set to defend his title. Lewis won last year’s event in a time of one hour, 16 minutes, 41.91 seconds.
Junior Niles (Veterans U-50), Mario King (Uprights) and Hazina Barret (12-14 Boys and Girls) are the defending champions in their respective categories.
There will also be races for BMX and juvenile riders.
Product Specialist at Geddes Grant, Karren Cornell, and other staff members will be on hand to distribute the prizes at the conclusion of the programme.
