On Sunday, April 9th, 2017, Double Trouble Cycling Club hosted the 2nd Annual Timothy Richardson Cycling Race. This event attracted over 50 riders from French St. Martin, Dutch St. Maarten and Anguilla. The clubs that participated were Double Trouble Cycling Club and Off the Chain Cycling Club from Anguilla. From St. Maarten / St. Martin, the cycling clubs in attendance were Cyclone Cycling Club, Mo Trouble, ASM, VCG and the newly formed VCSG.
As an added attraction, the crowd was able to witness the senior primary school students (grades 5 & 6) take part in the road races on their respective school’s road bicycles. These bikes were donated to the schools in 2016 by a generous anonymous donor. Unfortunately due to the inclement weather, the junior primary school students (grades 3 & 4) were unable to complete. The races concluded with an open BMX race. Pictures of all the winners can be found on the Double Trouble Cycling Club Facebook Club.
The annual Timothy Richardson Cycling Race began in 2015 as a way to give recognition and thanks to the coach and founder of the Double Trouble Cycling Club – Mr. Timothy Richardson. Mr. Richardson continues to volunteer his time assisting youths and adults who are interested in learning the sport of cycling. As a gesture to show our appreciation to his dedication, the Club presented Mr. Richardson with a phone that was donated by Anguilla Electronics.
