The Flying Ace Cycle Club will pedal off its 2022 season with the staging of its Mashramani road race this Sunday in New Amsterdam, Berbice.
The race has been organized by president of the Club and veteran cycling coach, Randolph Roberts. The event, which gets underway from 09.00 hours, will be for riders from Regions Five and Six only. The 10-lap battle will see riders beginning at Rainbow Beer Garden then heading to Charles Place and Republic Streets and then onto Station Street before working their way over to Main Street and into Stanleytown. The wheelsmen will then manoeuvre through Tacama turn and into Republic Road.
The event is being sponsored by Arokium Funeral Home, Dexter’s Funeral Home, Jerrick’s Funeral Home, Suresh Auto Complex, Ansa McAl, Banks D.I.H, among others.
Eight sprint prizes will be up for grabs along with prizes for the top four seniors, top three veterans and top junior rider.
Roberts said he was grateful to the business community for their continued support, especially through 2021 and is hopeful that this event could kickstart a vibrant year for cycling in the ancient county of Berbice.
The coach noted that about 20 riders are expected to take the starting line including Balram Narine, Andrew Hicks, David Hicks, Romello Crawford and Andre Greene.
