Bicycle clips at the ready…Tour de Law is returning for its fifth year. The event is a fiercely competitive race fought on stationery Watt bikes, with competitors taking turns to clock up the miles. All funds raised go to Breast Cancer Care. In the past four years, £260,000 has been raised. Last year Simmons & Simmons took the title of Tour de Law Champion, reaching the 1,000km finish line before the other 22 competing firms. This year’s race takes place on 28 and 29 September. Firms have until 15 July to register their interest in taking part.
