Owen went on to win the British Best All Rounder Championship in 1958 breaking the 12-hour record with 271.8 miles. Which stood for 9 years.

Owen rode over 100 races for Great Britain, including being the only British rider to finish four Peace Races. He had a successful pro career in the UK and in France. After retiring from racing Owen organised several road races for LRC. As Club president he secured club sponsorship with Kirby & West.

In his 40’s and 60’s Owen broke several National Vets Records & won his age-related World Championship in 1997. In 1998 he won the National Veterans BBAR 40 years after winning the BBAR. Owen was an active cyclist and club member until his death in 2020
