Last night we showed you how Belizean cyclist, Darnell Barrow of Team Santinos managed to pull off an impressive win in the 2013 Cross Country Cycling Classic. His performance, while embraced by the Belizean cycling community, came as an unexpected surprise, largely because the cycling fraternity felt that the stock of local riders weren't in the best condition for this race.
And a majority of that lack of preparation was due to the uncertainty at the Executive Level of the Belize Cycling Association. For the last 4 months cycling has been governed by an interim committee appointed by the Ministry of Sports, but hopefully, they will be able to hand over the responsibilities to a newly elected Association.
The elections are to be held over the next 2 weeks with the use of the Federation rules, which were being disputed. It would seem that after consultation, both executives aspiring to be elected have come to a compromise with the assistance of the Ministry of Sports, and the schedule of elections has been released.
Elections for all zones will take place within the next two weeks and the National Elections will be held on Wednesday April 17, at 7 p.m., at the UWI Campus.
