The eighth annual Payless Variety Store 11-race cycling programe will pedal off on Saturday in the inner circuit of the National Park.

The event, which is organized by National Cycling Coach, Hassan Mohamed, is expected to attract a significant amount of the country’s top riders from BMX level up to veterans as the event rides off from 09.00 hours.

Last year, it was West Stand United’s Briton John, who rode off with the spoils in the 35-lap Schoolboys and Invitational feature race in a time of one hour 17 minutes and 44 seconds. The teenage wheelsman has set the track ablaze and sits as the best rider in the country which could mean he is a favourite heading into Saturday’s event.
