New York City's Ken Harris (CRCA / Jonathan Adler Racing) set a new world masters hour record for the age 40-44 group at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center velodrome in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania.

On Tuesday evening, Harris added about 400 meters to the old record of 45.189 set by Dr. Neal Stansbury in September 2003 at Manchester, England. The new record is 45.587 kilometers. A UCI official was on site to certify the record.

Harris is one of the leaders of a New York-based Adler team, and president of the Century Road Club Association, the largest racing club in the United States.

The record was set on a Cevelo P3C frame with a Zipp 808 front wheel and a 909 disc. Harris has taken several state championships on the road and track, including the track omnium in 2007 and 2008, and won a masters national championship (40-44) in the points race in 2007.
