1 The Hercules is our annual corporate cycling challenge in which  legal and financial companies compete as teams around a 100 mile course, in Leicestershire and Rutland. The event takes it’s name from the trophy; a vintage Hercules bike frame used by team Hercules in the Tour de France. The terrain is rolling, the total climb averages approximately 4800 ft as you wind your way through some of the most stunning scenery that rural England has to offer. For some it is  a team building experience for colleagues and clients and their ambitions are just to finish the course, while others  try to set the fastest time and win the trophy. Each team is fully supported on the ride, with a guide rider to help with basic mechanicals and show you where to go. It is a fully supported ride with mobile mechanics and sweeper van. But a good level of fitness is required - 100 miles makes for a long day in the saddle. In 2011 Photographer Camille McMillan created a coffee table book of the event for each team as a story of their day in photographs, each rider was given a luxury vintage style merino wool cycling jersey. 2010 Winners - Aviva Investors 2011 Winners - Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP
