Join us for an unforgettable festival of road cycling.

In September 2019 the world’s best cyclists will come to Yorkshire for the UCI Road World Championships - the pinnacle event in the international road cycling calendar.   Through our role as Official Lawyer to the Championships, AG will be at the heart of the action and we would love you to join us.

We're excited to be hosting a fully supported guided ride taking in some of the route of UCI World Championships including the notorious Norwood Edge - a popular local climb and part of the Women's Elite Road Race. See how you fare ahead of the pros, while enjoying a friendly morning of cycling in Yorkshire's stunning landscape. 

We'll meet in Harrogate the evening before for an informal private dinner in the company of Ned Boulting, before setting off on a guided ride the following morning, returning in time to watch the Women's or Men's Elite Road Race.
