Antigua St john's - The Antigua and Barbuda Cycling Association will host a 16-mile individual time trial on Sunday June 3.

After being forced to make a change to the calendar event, the 2012 Top Ranking National Road Championships is now scheduled for June 24. The event will start at 3 pm at the popular cycling venue, in front of the Police Recreation Grounds (PRG).
