Owen Burgess and Bethan Ouseley were crowned champions at the Welsh 10-Mile Championships, promoted by Pontypool RCC in Monmouthshire on Sunday morning.

Second last year, 38-year-old Burgess (UF Rowe & King) covered the course in 19-31 to upset the Spindata predictions and take victory over pre-race favourite Anthony Jones (VMCC powered by Y Beic) who was just three seconds behind.

Ben Jones (Portishead CC) was third, while there was a tie for fourth place between juvenile ace Finlay Tarling (Flanders Color Galloo) and Andy Davies (UF Rowe & King) who both clocked 19-59.

Pembrokeshire Velo rider Ouseley covered the course near Raglan in 23-31 to win the women’s competition by 11 seconds from Emma Wyatt (Hereford and District Wheelers) while third spot went to Deborah Sheridan (Warwickshire Road CC) with 24-36.

This was Burgess’s fourth victory of the season in open time trialling, and comes after he placed second at the Welsh 30-Mile Championship last month. Previously he won the Cardiff 100 Miles RCC 15-mile event in April, as well as the Cardiff 100 Miles RCC 10-mile event on New Year’s Day and was part of the team that won the Cardiff 100 Miles RCC four-up 15-mile event in February.

He is due to ride the Virtual CC 25 next Sunday, and has also entered the Royal Dean Forest CC 25 two weeks after that.

With just four previous rides in open time trials on her CTT profile, 55-year-old Bethan Ouseley’s previous best performance came at the Time Trial Centenary Event organized by Bynea CC in June, where she was fastest female in the road bike event near Llandovery.
