The cream of Guyana’s wheelsmen will unchain their competitive juices and renew their cycling rivalry tomorrow with the staging of the 13th annual Victor Macedo memorial road race.
Organized by the Flying Stars Cycle Club, the gruelling 80-mile trek from Georgetown to Linden is scheduled to begin at 7:30am.
Tomorrow’s race commences with a rolling start from Peter Rose Street, Queenstown to Homestretch Avenue where it will official begin.
Senior and Junior cyclists will then proceed to Dora on the Linden Highway while the veterans, juveniles and Mountain Bikers will journey to the hill after the Splashmin’s Fun Park. All riders would then return to finish on Homestretch Avenue.
Team Gillette Evolution’s Michael Anthony (3h:14m:19s) was last year’s winner of the senior and junior categories while Ian Jackson (Veteran), Raphael Leung (Juveniles) and Keon Thomas (Mountain Bike) reigned supreme in their respective classes.
This year, however, there will be new champions in the junior and juvenile divisions as Anthony and Leung have since graduated from those ranks. (Emmerson Campbell)
