Event Overview

Event Cancelled - Please contact the event organsier for more information.

Welcome to a BC Grade 5 (Very Hard) event! The UBER 200 has the challenging combination of a one day Classic distance and sharp, steep hills. It is over 200km in length and over 2,650m in ascent on roads that kick to 25% to test the mettle of the strongest riders!

You will have to tackle Dover's Hill (a National Hill Climb Course), Snowshill (a KoM used in last year's Tour of Britain), Corndean Lane and Bushcombe Lane (a 10/10 climb from Simon Warren's book - Another 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs).

 The route is on quiet, rural roads against the back drop of beautiful Cotswold villages.

The event HQ is at Leamington Football Club on Harbury Lane which has excellent facilities for hosting a cyclosportive.

Here is a sample of our rider feedback from last year's event -

Richard S - “I really enjoyed the day, well done on a well organised and challenging event. Great communication. Friendly event crew.”

Andy B - “I had a ball riding the first UBER 200. It was quality, even the really really stupid steep hill (once I was over it!) The scenery was lovely, just what you need when there are lots of hills involved."

Jon L-G - “Your updates pre and post event have been great. I do think you're a fantastic group of organisers. I've ridden the Bracket every year since it started and you definitely put cyclists first.”

Steve H - “Excellent communications from you in the run up, and a truly helpful, friendly and enthusiastic team on the day. I’ll be proud to have been there for the first edition.”

Simon G - “I look forward to coming back for more next time around.”

Wendy N - “It was v. challenging & some spectacular scenery!”

Graham W - “It’s a cracking challenge.”
