Former national cyclist Ian Atherly is set to reignite the thrill of night cycling at Skinner Park in San Fernando with the upcoming Ian Atherly Cycling Meet on November 30. This event, originally scheduled for September 7 as part of Ian Atherly Day, has been rescheduled to align with the San Fernando City Week celebrations. Atherly, a Commonwealth bronze medalist in 1974 and the first Trinidad and Tobago (TT) national to achieve such a feat in cycling, aims to use this event as a catalyst to promote cycling in the southern region. The meet will feature participation from several national cyclists and is designed to attract a broad audience, with free admission to encourage widespread attendance. The event will commence at 4 pm, allowing families and children to enjoy the action and return home in time for school the following day. Atherly, who also served as Mayor of San Fernando from 2003 to 2005, continues to be a pivotal figure in the local cycling community. His efforts come 40 years after his historic medal win, with TT’s next cycling medal at the Commonwealth Games achieved by Nicolas Paul in 2022.
