“The Cobble Wobble is to Frome, what Cheese-Rolling is to Brockworth in Gloucester.”

The Course

Starting at the bottom of Stony Street the course takes a sharp turn as it joins Catherine Hill before finishing when the cobbles run out at the top of the hill, 179 yards later. Incredibly narrow and lined with 17th century buildings the course is as impressive to look at as it is to ride.

With thousands of cobbles, varying gradient and that tight turn to contend with, the Cobble Wobble course promises to test the riders strength and skill.
