According to Onosanya, the competition would help to keep the state athletes fit and improve their standards and also enhance their performance.
However, the event which took place early hours of Saturday had good number of spectators and participants in attendance.
Onosonya, said that, since the annual “Garden City Championship is yet to come up due to the 2015 general elections, the monthly cycling event now helps to keep the cyclists focused and prepared in the absence of other competition.
“The Garden City cycling championship is normally held every second month of a new year, but was postponed due to the upcoming general elections,” he said.
