James Gullen (Pedal Heaven RT) sent out an early mark to his opponents after he broke the 18-minute barrier on the fast V718 course at South Cave, near Hull in East Yorkshire on Good Friday.

The 26-year-old from Leeds has already had success this season with two road race wins to his name before notching his first 10-mile time trial win on Good Friday.

Gullen was only six seconds short of the course record which he said was within his reach as he starts his preparation for National 10-mile Championship later in the season.

He said: “It’s a fast course and I’ve been there before in 2012 posting a time of 18.16.

“It was good conditions but not ideal and I could have got more out of it. It’s a nice course as it’s following and rolling so you can power over the bumps and have a rest.”

Behind Gullen in second and first veteran was Stephen Irwin (North Lancs RC) who finished 38 seconds behind the professional in a time of 18 minutes and 29 seconds.

Just a second behind in a tight fight for the podium places was Simon Beldon (SSLL Racing Team).

Other categories winners included junior rider Nathan Allatt (Royal Navy & Royal Marines CA) recorded a time of 19.36.

Winner on the women’s event was Jessica Bacon (York Cycleworks) in a time of 22.07 ahead of Alexandra Deck (Langsett Cycles).
