00:00 [music] I'm really, really at my limit. It could well

00:22 be the end. This has so many different tonalities because

00:30 it's beating with a 10,000-year-old heart. King Alfred's Way is a long-distance route

00:38 and it's just a work of genius, if you ask me.

00:43 The riding is so good. I don't think I've ever ridden gravel anywhere else in the world

00:48 that's like this. This is quite a tough little climb.

00:58 King Alfred's Way is a 350-kilometer time travel gravel route around the archaeological,

01:05 historical, and cultural heart of the South of England.

01:09 I've actually stopped for this very solemn moment. I wouldn't want you to miss. One of

01:14 the seven wonders of the ancient world, Stonehenge. You see it? Maybe it's not very impressive.

01:21 Zoom in. There you go. I can remember that being an absolute nightmare

01:29 to get up, probably the bit that I least enjoyed of the whole route.

01:36 My body was shutting down. I was dehydrated, but I just didn't want to drink anything.

01:48 I went to put my GoPro away and I just completely lost it and stacked it.
