Madam Dornkuor also used the opportunity to rally support from stakeholders, corporate bodies, communities, families, and individuals to adopt cycling as a regular lifestyle choice.

The GOC President Richard Akpokavie Esq pleading with the organisers to consider the prize money for the men to be same as the women; "I will plead with the Prudential Life Insurance to consider the winning prize for the women since they are doing the same race but their laps to encourage lots of women to participate in the sports", he said.
