David Millar and Rod Ellingworth to speak at London Sports Writing Festival

David Millar will join a host of British riders and journalists at the inaugural London Sports Writing Festival at Lord's Cricket Ground next month.

Millar will be part of a cycling-focused day of talks on Sunday, October 20, and will be joined by the likes of Rod Ellingworth, Charly Wegelius and Rob Hayles to discuss cycling literature and success stories.

Topics vary from Project Rainbow- Ellingworth's plan for a Briton to win the World Road Race Championships - to the impossible rise of the Rwandan cycling team.

The previous day (October 19), journalists Mike Rowbottom, Richard Moore and Jeremy Whittle will discuss cheating in sport.

The event brings together writers and athletes from a variety of sports at the home of English cricket in St. John's Wood, London. Tickets and further information on all the available discussions are available here. Tickets are priced at £10 per session.
