King Alfred's Way - Second time, and FKT attempt

King Alfred's Way is a 350km route around the South of England that was mapped by Cycling UK. It links other popular riding areas such as the South Downs Way and the Ridgeway and creates a circular route that starts and finishes in Winchester.

I completed the route for the first time in July 2021, with what was planned to be a 2-day ride that became a non-stop attempt and beat what was the FKT at that point.

Recently GCN's Si Richardson had a huge ride and took the FKT, taking 25 minutes off my previous time. This video follows the attempt to regain the FKT.
