NEXT year's Dartmoor Classic has sold out in record time.

The event is a non-commercial Sportive cycle challenge that is promoted and organised by the Mid-Devon Cycling Club.

There are three routes: The Grande (107 miles); The Medio (68 miles) and the Debutante (35 miles).

Within the first 90 minutes or so, more than half of the 3,000 available places had been snapped up.

As in previous years, the organising Mid-Devon Cycling Club will be operating a 'wait list' for riders to register, without charge, as reserves.
