The King Alfreds Way by Numbers

On the weekend of the 5th and 6th June 2021, we hit the ultimate local gravel bike adventure route over 2 days. The King Alfreds Way totalled 392km for us as we rode to and from the start in Winchester as well. I’ll share my experience here in numbers and with some images. In short, if you love bike adventures, epic vistas and terrain it’s a must. We rode clockwise and stopped over at the Premier Inn in Reading on the Saturday night. I will find more time to share our experience and most of all the knowledge and tips we gained on this particular adventure, but for now, here are some numbers to mull over.
