Cycling Association Set To Introduce Monthly Competition

The Kaduna State
Cycling Association on Wednesday said that it would introduce monthly competition among cyclists to promote the game in the state.
The Head Coach of the association, Samaila Usman, said in an interview with newsmen in Kaduna.
Usman said that the competition which would be tagged: “Kaduna State Cycling Championship” would feature cyclists across the 23 local government areas in the state.
He expressed the hope that the planned competition, when operational, would help strengthen the game and attract more youths to the game.
“We want to promote the game of cycling among youths in the state and North-West region.
“We want to extend it to the North-West as it is being practised in Rivers and Lagos states.
“We want to expose talents and revive cycling so that we can participate in different competitions.
“Many people have the notion that cycling is a difficult game, which they cannot do. So, we want to clear that notion by introducing monthly competition in the state to promote the game.’’
He said that the association had not held or participated in any competition since KADA games 2009 in Kaduna.
Usman said that the objective of the competition was to develop cyclists for both national and international competition.
