The nation’s best wheelsmen will be on their saddles again today competing for lucrative cash prizes when Roraima Bikers Club (RBC) teams up with George Humphrey and Clifford ‘Toto’ Johnson to stage the eighth annual George Cumberbatch event.

The seven-race programme is scheduled to pedal off at the Seawall Bandstand from 10:00hrs.

In excess of $100,000 is budgeted for the event with the winner of the feature 30-lap race pocketing $10,000.

Other races carded for tomorrow include: Junior/Category Four (five laps), Category 1-3 (five laps), Veteran Over-50 (five laps), Veteran Under-50 (five laps), Win and Out (eight laps) and the Mountain Bike Open (five laps).

The top three finishers in these races will collect cash awards while the first six finishers in the feature event will be rewarded with cash prizes.

Notes: The activity will be the first for the Roraima Bikers Club for the 2014 season but the sixth overall. It will start with a lap of honour for the late cycling icon Cumberbatch. RBC’s standout rider, Alanzo Greaves was the winner of last year’s feature race.
