The "Uptonogood?" is back for it's third year. In 2010 we had the sun. In 2011 we had the mud. What will 2012 bring?
Well the cycling will be some of the best the area has to offer, the burgers will be as tasty as ever, the local beer will be flowing and the music will be jumping!
If you've not been before, the "Uptonogood?" is a mountain bike event for families and experienced bikers alike.
Almost entirely off-road, the routes wind their way through the beautiful North Wessex Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty encompassing the Ridgeway and surrounding bridleways.
The event starts and finishes in Upton village where besides the cycling there will be facilities and activities for all the family, including, campsite, bacon butties for breakfast, tea and homemade cakes, BBQ (with veggie options), beer tent, bouncy castle, climbing wall, and Vintage bike display.
"Uptonogood?" includes 4 routes devised to cater for different ages and abilities:
- 5 mile “little wheels” ride
- 12 mile family ride
- 25 mile leisure ride
- 45 mile endurance ride
