On Sunday, the Valley came alive with the annual John T. Memorial Cycling Race. The race which is in its 16th year is held in honour of the late John Thomas who contributed much of his time and finances to the development of cycling on Anguilla.
There were some changes in the route which included the race going through Island Harbour and a decrease in the number of times to Sandy Ground.
With a route of approximately 133km for Elite, 91k for Juniors and 52k for masters, Cadets and Females, cyclists took to the street just after 11:00 a.m with short intervals between each category.
