The Vice President of the Ghana Cycling Federation, Mohammed Riyahd has supported the upcoming Africa Road Para-cycling Championships next month with a class Honda rental saloon vehicle to be used by the Confederation of African Cycling President and Vice President of the International Cycling Union -UCI, Dr WAGGIH Azzam during the period of the event.
The vehicle, together with its fuel usage throughout the 10 days amounts to $2000.
The gesture by the affable and passionate gentleman is nothing strange to the Cycling fraternity. It would be recalled Mohammed Riyard single-handedly took care of the National Cycling Team at the African Championships in Rwanda in 2018.
Again he was financially instrumental at the Moroccan Championships in 2019.
The Chief Executive Officer of the fast-rising construction firm, Riyard constructions Ltd, has been a pillar in the Paracycling department, securing countless sponsorships in their respective engagements.
Ghana is a few days shy of hosting the first-ever African Cycling event scheduled from the 8th-17th of next month at Ablekuma Ollebu.
