Philip Bray (Plymouth Corinthians CC) took a narrow victory by just three seconds in the City Cycle Couriers RT 13 over the sporting S19/13s course in Cornwall on Sunday.
Bray's time of 30 minutes and 46 seconds denied Rob Scott of the host club the win by a narrow margin.
The course, which starts in Antony just outside Torpoint, saw riders travel down the A374 inland but into a headwind towards Liskeard before making the return journey with the wind on their backs.
Bray's time was well outside the course record of 29.31 set during an evening event.
Rounding off the podium places in third was Paul Walshe (City Cycle Couriers RT) who was also fastest veteran in 31.05.
Fastest junior home was Evan Rouse (North Devon Wheelers) whose time of 31.32 was enough for fourth overall while fastest woman in eighth overall was Zoe Betteridge (North Devon Wheelers) in 34.10.
