Kentisbeare Junior Cycling Club is determined to share the excitement of the Tour of Britain as it travels through Devon on 15 September.

Twenty-five riders will be riding down after school on Friday from their base in the village of Kentisbeare in mid Devon to Okehampton Youth Hostel for dinner B&B at the hostel, ready to take their place to cheer the riders through the town on the Saturday morning.

Stuart McFadzean, the ride leader commented: ‘Here is a living example of the value of the Tour of Britain to Devon – we’ll be spending over £1,000 in local, small businesses on our trip to see the Tour and our young riders will have an unforgettable experience’

Kentisbeare Junior Cycling Club has been active in Mid-Devon since 2007. They have regular local, national and even international rides.
