CYCLING

Cycling is now one step closer to Olympic qualification as the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, through the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, presented a $364,724 cheque to the Trinidad and Tobago Cycling Federation (TTCF).

EVERY road fatality is a tragedy but there is something extraordinarily heartbreaking about Saturday’s deadly incident in which two cyclists in a group of 14 lost their lives on the Beetham Highway.

CHARITABLE, unique, and larger-than-life were some of the words used to describe Joe Brown, the popular chef and avid cyclist, who was fondly remembered at a memorial service held at the Queen's Park Oval, Tragarete Road, today.

It was just last week, ex­ec­u­tive chef and founder at Jaf­fa Restau­rant at the Queen's Park Oval Joe Brown held a fundrais­er on the Di­vali hol­i­day to raise funds for a fel­low cy­clist who was in­jured.

BRIAN LEWIS, president of the TT Olympic Committee (TTOC), remembers late rugby player and cyclist Joe Brown as a tough but passionate person, both in and out of the sporting arena.

Fam­i­ly, friends and ac­quain­tances of Jaf­fa at the Oval chef Joe Brown are tak­ing to so­cial me­dia and oth­er plat­forms to pay trib­ute to him.
