• Comment: All the references are on other topics, and only incidentally, if ever, mention Mid Devon CC, so fail the in-depth coverage requirement. JustARandomSquid (talk) 11:59, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Wikipedia is not a reliable source and should not be used as a reference. Britishcycling.org/events is also not an independent, reliable source that can establish notability, per Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 08:49, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

The Mid Devon Cycling Club (MDCC) is an amateur cycling club based in Newton Abbot, Devon, England. Founded in 1931, the club is one of the oldest and largest cycling organisations in the South West of England and has been noted in the media for developing multiple professional riders and achieving national team titles.

The Mid Devon Cycling Club has a history dating back to 1931, making it a longstanding part of the cycling culture in Devon. It is registered with British Cycling and organises competitive events across various disciplines in the local region, including time trials, hill climbs, and road races

The club is responsible for organising multiple events on the local cycling calendar, including its signature annual Dartmoor Classic ^[1]Sportive and the Totnes Vire^[2] stage race.

He was the first person to win the British National Road Race Championship in successive years (1967 and 1968) and represented Great Britain at the 1964 Summer Olympics. Lewis was a lifelong member of the club, for which he rode as an amateur from 1958 to 1966, and later served as its President. He was credited with mentoring and inspiring a generation of Devon cyclists, including Jeremy Hunt and Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.^[3]
