Tickets going fast for this year's Tour de Vale bike ride

Organisers WheelPower say they are expecting the 2,000 available places to sell out.

With five weeks to go until the ride on Sunday June 26, it is the fastest organisers have experienced sales in the event’s 13 year history.

Tour de Vale director Jo Hall said: “We are delighted that more and more people are taking part in the Mix 96 Tour de Vale every year to support WheelPower.

“To have reached 1,000 entries so early is a fantastic response.”

Advanced entries are £15 for adults and free for under 16s and this offer closes on Wednesday June 22.
