For the 15th consecutive year, the family of Reagan Rodrigues, founder of Ricks and Sari, will host a 46-mile road race in honour of the late racer.
The event, organised by Hassan Mohammed, will begin at 08:30 hours this Sunday on the West Bank of Demerara (WBD). Riders will take to the starting line at Schoonard, WBD, where they will then make their way to Bushy Park and back to the starting line in pursuit of the checkered flag.
According to Mohammed, up for grabs will be eight prime prizes along the route while the top six seniors will all receive prizes along with the top three riders in the Mountain Bike, Juniors, Veterans and Female divisions.
The defending champion is Coco’s wheelsman Jamaul John, who retained his title in one hour, 41 minutes and 38 seconds, shaving off 15 minutes from his time in 2017. The juniors division was won by Adealie Hodge while Paul Chooweenam secured the veterans title and Julio Melville claimed the mountain bike accolade.
Rodrigues was born on February 21, 1948 and passed away on August 4, 2004. During his lifetime, he served as President of the Carlton Wheelers Cycling Club and was also a champion race car driver.
