Guyana’s ‘Ride for Life’ Five-Stage Road Race is many months away but the Guyana Cycling Association of North America (GCANA) is already gearing up to send a Masters (Veterans) team to compete in the event.
According to an association source, Bruce Camacho who, won the Masters criterium and was second in the road race, along with Aubrey Gordon who placed third in his criterium race at last year’s Masters World Games in Turin, Italy, will spearhead the team. Meanwhile, GCANA met last weekend
for their fourth annual reunion and fundraising dance at the Woodbine Ballroom, Brooklyn, New York, making it the premier event in the association’s calendar. A large cross-section of Guyanese in the Diaspora attended, including present and former cycling stars, their families and fans. According to reports, the association has renewed its commitment towards raising the standard of cycling in Guyana and will continue utilizing proceeds from these fundraising ventures towards this goal.
The GCANA steering committee in a release expressed their gratitude to everyone who assisted in making the event a memorable success. Special thanks were also expressed for the support from Williams Caribbean Shipping, Caribbean Cargo DC, Woodbine Ballroom, Precious Group Family Daycare, DJ Colin and DJ Hanna.
