Conrad Moss (NOPINZ) and Michelle Lee (PDQ Cycle Coaching) notched up more victories as they proved fastest male and female riders at the Royal Dean Forest CC 25-mile time trial near Usk in Monmouthshire on Sunday.

Moss, the prolific 44-year-old from Paignton, clocked 47-52 to win the event by 31 seconds from Chris Gibbard (Bynea CC), while Anthony Jones (Towy Riders CC) completed the podium in third.

And a time of 53-18 gave 47-year-old Michelle Lee a resounding victory in the women’s event. She was more than five minutes quicker than runner-up Amanda Lane (Bynea CC), with Joanna Knight (Bristol South CC) third.

The R25/7 course starts to the north west of Usk and heads into the A449, where it goes north east through Llandenny and past Raglan and Dingestow and on to the fringes of Monmouth, where riders turn and head back down.

Among a number of strong performances was that of 14-year-old Iago Williams (Towy Riders CC) who clocked an impressive 58-30.

Moss has proven prolific so far this season, having won the Cardiff 100 Miles RCC 50 three weeks ago as well as taking victory in the Plymouth Corinthian CC 50 in July.

He was also victorious in the Mid-Devon CC 25 and the Alltrax 25 which both took place on the S4/25 course near Buckfastleigh in Devon.

Lee’s time of 53-18 was just two seconds short of being a new personal best, which she set on the Rhigos course last weekend where she was second woman behind Welsh Champion Stephanie Post.

She is a rider in form at the moment, having also won the Cardiff 100 Miles RCC 50-mile event earlier this month, and placed second in the Realteam.co.uk 10 and Welsh 100-Mile Championships in June.
