Cycling action returns to the inner circuit of the National Park tomorrow for the staging of the 12th annual Seven Seas 11-race programme.
The Hassan Mohamed-organized event rolls off at 09:00hrs and is scheduled to attract the cream of the local wheelsmen.
United Bike Shop’s Mario King carted off the top honours of the feature 35-lap event last year in a scorching one hour, 13 minutes and 45 seconds.
He will be on his saddle in anticipation of a repeat however, with the likes of Paul DeNobrega and the Team Gillette Evolution quintet (Orville Hinds, Michael Anthony, Raul Leal, Marlon Williams and Akeem Wilkinson) in sublime form, King will be hard pressed to continue his winning streak.
Riders from Team Coco’s, Team Alanis and the Carlton Wheelers will also be aiming for the top podium spots.
Other events that will roll off include: the 12 to 14 years boys and girls (3 laps), veterans over-50 years (5 laps), veterans over-60 years (5 laps), upright cyclists (5 laps), BMX boys open (3 laps), BMX boys 12 to 14 years (3 laps), BMX boys 9 to 12 years (3 laps) and BMX boys 6 to 9 years (3 laps).
The Juveniles along with the Veterans Under-50 races are slated to be keenly contested.
Junior Niles (Veterans Under-50), Alonzo Ambrose (Juveniles) and Emmanuel Gayraul (Mountain Bikes) were the top bikers in their categories last year.
Seven Seas representative Marwanna Thakur is expected to be on hand to assist in the presentation of prizes to the top performers. (Emmerson Campbell)
