Dartmoor Classic
Medio Route

The Medio route is the middle distance route option of the Dartmoor Classic Sportive. The route starts with a 2.3 mile neutralised segment from Newton Abbot racecourse to Clay Pits Way. Here you will see the 'Timing Towers' and your official ride time will begin.

‍

After scenic climbs through Dartmoor, at 30 miles you will arrive at the famous Princetown Feedstation. Enjoy a variety of food and drinks along with energy bars and Tea or Coffee. Mind you don't eat too much of the Homity Pie as 10 miles on from Princetown, at 40 miles is the Closed Road Hill climb segment. Here you will have the opportunity to test your climbing strength against fellow participants with prizes to be won for the fastest male & female riders of each age category.
