Won the RTTC National 25 miles and 50 miles Championships.
In accomplishing this feat, Breedon (a member of Rockingham CC) became the first northern rider, and only the second man ever, to take both titles in one season.
The performances recorded are superlative by any standard. The 25 miles were ridden in 55 mins. 18 secs. and the 50 miles in 1hr. 54 mins. 28 secs. Both constituted new Championship records.
This 1965 achievement followed an outstanding season in 1964, during which he won the RTTC National 25 miles Championship (the first time for 20 years that this honour had been achieved by a member of a Yorkshire club) and established new competition records for the 25 miles and 50 miles distances of 54 mins. 23 secs. and 1 hr. 50 mins. 3 secs. respectively. The latter record still stands.
His successes have brought great honour both to himself and to the county.
