Tour de Law

Forget Bradley Wiggins, the UK’s biggest legal cycle race will be hitting the road (physically or metaphorically) this week

Legal professionals from across the UK will be raising vital funds for Breast Cancer. For this year’s Tour de Law, teams of up to 10 cyclists will set off at 6am on 12 October and be pedalling furiously to clock up as many km as possible until the race ends at 6pm on 18 October.

Cyclists can take part on road bikes, static bikes at home or in the gym, or even on Santander Cycles.
