Photos: Races At 2010 Police Gymkhana

After a 22 year hiatus, the Bermuda Police Service’s Gymkhana was held on Saturday 2nd October at the Police Field. The event was open to all pedal cycle riders in primary and middle school, and every cycle rider was recognized. The concept behind the day is to allow youngsters of all ages to participate in bicycle races within a safe environment, foster positive interactions with police officers and of course for the kids to have fun.

Amongst the participants was Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva, pictured below pedaling furiously to the finish line:
