More details. Owen is King of the Mountains Towy Rider Owen James from Ferryside displayed awesome climbing power at the Welsh Hill Climb Championship on Sunday 28th September. He was the youngest in the field of 46 mostly senior riders, but finished 16th overall, more than a minute ahead of the next junior competitor. The course was a lung-busting climb up the Black Mountain and Owen's remarkable performance shows great potential for the future.
