The trio also participated in the Open category with Desa placing second to Gary Benjamin while Rohan Persaud finished third.
Reece, Wazim Hasnoo and Jaundoo, occupied the next three positions.
Prizes were awarded to each of the top six cyclists.

Meanwhile, the second group of races featured BMX cyclists pedaling away from the No. 62 Toll Station to the GBTI Bank.
The winner was Millington with Elijah Bijadder second place, Victor Henry, third and Bryan Harris fourth.
Sprint prizes went to Benjamin, Reece, Desa, Hasnoo, and Rohan Persaud.
Following the races, the awardees were presented with their honors in a brief presentation ceremony.
Branch Manager Naresh Balkaran, addressing the cyclists, special invitees and spectators, expressed the bank’s appreciation to the participants and the community for their support of the event.
Balkaran noted that banking services were not the only way in which GBTI was serving the community.
He affirmed the bank’s commitment to honor its social responsibility through similar community activities not only in Berbice but across the country.
