PANAJI: Anuradha Guglani of Raia won Cycling Goa’s first Summer XC (cross country) cycle race held in the Mhadei jungle, recently.

She was followed by Sundaram Narayanan and Delfim Silva of Panaji in second and third places respectively.
A total of 36 cyclists including three Goan women took part in this first part of Cycling Goa’s three-part Summer XC series.
The second race will take place on April 23 and the third and final race on May 7.
