Mohamed said his aim in 2014 is to surpass the 42 events he organized last year, he however stated that that feat can only occur through solid support from corporate Guyana.
He noted that CEO of the company, Lennox Cush has sponsored other disciplines, and is now venturing into cycling. Mohamed welcomed the support and added that more sponsorship will mean additional avenues for the riders to showcase their talents.
Cush along with staff members of his company are expected to be on hand to assist in the presentation of prizes to the top performers.
