An impressive showing by the senior Caribbean Championship-bound trio, Christopher Griffith, Michael Anthony and Jamaul John resulted in the National Park record being shattered when the eight annual Payless Variety Store 35-lap featured School boys and Invitational race ended yesterday.
Some 28 riders took to the starting line under steaming conditions in the Hassan Mohamed-organized event and when it ended, only six were left standing, five of whom are set to represent Guyana next month.
Team Evolution’s Griffith won in one hour, 14 minutes and 45 seconds, a time which according to the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) representatives was a new record.
