THE Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC) Track and Para Track Championships got off to a rousing start on Wednesday at the Tagaytay CT Velodrome with close to 600 cyclists from 16 countries in full harness to earn titles as continental champions.

ASIAN Cycling Confederation (ACC) president Dato' Amarjit Singh Gill and Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Patrick Gregorio lead a list of distinguished sports officials for the opening ceremony of the 45^th Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC) Track Cycling Championships and 14^th Asian Para Track Cycling Championships on Wednesday (March 25) at the Tagaytay CT Velodrome.

When Philippine Sports Commission Chairman Patrick Gregorio recently embarked on a whirlwind tour across Davao, Iloilo, and Cebu, it wasn’t just a barnstorming tour of facilities and forums; it was a voyage into the heart of Philippine sports tourism.
