The UBER 200, UBER 100 and UBER 50 Cyclosportives
Welcome to the first BC Grade 5 (Very Hard) event of 2015! The UBER 200 has the challenging combination of a one day Classic distance and sharp, steep hills (think Liege-Bastogne-Liege). It is 213km 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, Edge Hill, Campden Hill and Bushcombe Lane (a 10/10 climb from Simon Warren's book - Another 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs).
The UBER 100 is the shorter but still challenging option (BCG 2/3 - Challenging/Difficult) at over 100km in length and over 1,000m of ascent with a short 20% section to get your legs burning and an alternative way up Edge Hill!
The UBER 50 is designed for those new to sportives. The route gently undulates through the Warwickshire countryside and over the Grand Union Canal.

The routes are on quiet, rural roads against the back drop of beautiful Cotswold villages. There will be well stocked feed stations every 40 miles and there is an event T-shirt for every finisher.
The event HQ is at Stoneleigh NAC which has excellent facilities for hosting a cyclosportive including on-site parking and is easy to access from the M40.
