Join us for a fascinating reflection on the journey of Britain's most celebrated Olympian, Sir Bradley Wiggins, as he tells the story of his ascension from a modest council estate in suburban London to the pinnacle of Olympic triumph. Bradley is the only rider to have won both World and Olympic championships on both the track and the road as well as winning the Tour de France. He has worn the leader's jersey in each of the three Grand Tours of cycling and held the world record in team pursuit on multiple occasions. He won a gold medal at four successive Olympic Games from 2004 to 2016, and held the record as Great Britain's most decorated Olympian with 8 medals until 2021. He is the only rider to win both the Tour de France and Olympic Gold in the same year, winning them a week apart in 2012.

Joining Bradley is his son and and Madison Junior World Champion, Ben Wiggins, who will share the stage in a rare and exclusive appearance.

Guided by the insightful moderation of Keme Nzerem, explore with us the topics of family, legacy, and the pivotal role Bradley has played in anchoring the edifice of British cycling. Grab your tickets and delve into an exploration of the intricate entanglements of family and passion upon the competitive track.
