Raynauth Jeffrey braved yesterday morning’s sweltering heat to pedal his way to another Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) national championship title.

Jeffrey ended the gruelling 103-mile race in a time of 3:59:37 while Paul DeNobrega and Hamza Eastman jostled at the finish line before finishing second and third respectively.

The race started outside of the National Sports Commission’s (NSC) head office on Homestretch Avenue and saw the nation’s top cyclists battling each other up the Linden/Soesdyke Highway, en-route to Camp Soweyo and back to the starting line for the 2017 title.
