The Flying Ace Cycling Club-organised Courts-sponsored Mashramani 50-mile road race is set for local wheelsmen countrywide on Sunday.
The tradition, which extends over two decades, will see riders assemble for a 09.00 hours pedal off in front of the furniture giant’s Main and St Ann Streets, New Amsterdam branch. They will then head to Number 36 Village to turn around at the Nand Persaud Rice Mill and head back to the starting point in pursuit of the checkered flag.
According to organiser, Randolph Roberts, this union is one of the longest standing partnerships for cycling races in the Ancient County. Roberts extended gratitude to the sponsors for remaining in support of cycling development.
The cycling coach added there will be eight sprint prizes along the route while awards will be given to the top eight finishers, first three juniors and first three veterans.
Last year, Andre ‘Padlock’ Greene stormed to the title in two hours, six minutes and 59 seconds. He finished ahead of junior-race winner, Ajay Gopilall in second and Paul Denobrega in third.
Junior Niles won the Veterans race, Mario Washington copped the juveniles and Shenika Texeria won the females division.
As is customary, representatives from the sponsors including Assistant Managers, Shellon Amin and Inaz Murry will be there to break the race and award prizes.
