Pro cyclists round a bend during a 76-mile road race this past Sunday on the western part of New Providence. More than 100 athletes from The Bahamas and various parts of the U.S. participated in the weekend-long competition sponsored by Holowekso Partners, Bank of The Bahamas and the Ministry of Tourism. Cyclists competed at speeds of more than 40 mph during final sprints. Staged in January when much of North America is blanketed by snow, the event is also an opportunity to showcase The Bahamas.
