Dear Uptonogooders,
After a couple of years off, Uptonogood? is back for 2019. Registration will be open in a week or so, so keen an eye on the website if you’ve entered before you should receive an email from us shortly.
All the best,

Uptonogood? is a mountain bike event and live music festival for experienced riders and novice families alike. Run by volunteers from Upton village and the local mountain bike fraternity, it is a fundraising event for local projects and causes, offering exhilarating rides, fine food and drink, and a great mix of live music!
Almost entirely off-road, the cycle routes wind their way through the beautiful North Wessex Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty encompassing the Ridgeway and surrounding bridleways.
Uptonogood? now offers five routes devised to cater for all ages and abilities:
- 5 mile Little Wheels ride
- 12 mile Family ride
- 18 mile Teen Spirit ride
- 25 mile Leisure ride
- 35 mile Endurance ride
Please see maps and route descriptions.
All the rides start and finish in Upton village where besides the cycling there will be fun and frolics for all the family, including beer tent, BBQ, tea/coffee and cakes, pump track, adventure playground, and raffle with some great prizes. There will also be a selection for live music throughout the afternoon. Click on the images below for a preview.

Camping is available from 6pm Friday and Saturday nights, so take advantage of all we have to offer (including hot showers) and make a great weekend of it.
Please note that Uptonogood? is not a race event and times/places will not be published in line with advice from the Police. Clocks on the finish line will allow you to note your own time as with previous years.
