By Rubén Morales Iglesias: National Individual Time Trial Champion and 2021 Caribbean Junior Road Race Champion Derrick ‘Baby Chav’ Chavarria will be riding his first race in the United States on Saturday.

“Saturday is the Winston Salem Cycling Classic held in Winston Salem NC. I am going unattached for this race since it’s not a collegiate race,” said Chavarria to Breaking Belize News (BBN). Chavarria said he signed up as a Category 4 rider to test the waters.

“We’ll be racing for 30 minutes at the iconic downtown Winston Salem route 1. There wasn’t much preparation for this race. It’s mainly for experience with criteriums since it’ll be my first crit race,” he said.

Recently Chavarria travelled to Banner Elk, a small town in North Carolina to attend Lees-McRae College under an athletic scholarship.

“I am enrolled in a bachelor’s degree majoring in Communication Arts and Design along with minor cycling studies,” Chavarria said, adding that he is settling in well at Banner Elk.

Chavarria said that collegiate cycling won’t start until February 2023, so he plans to compete in local races until then.

He said two teammates who are riding with local teams are taking him to the race on Saturday.
