'A wonderfully inspiring story ... an education in every part of preparing for this epic ride'

Guy Kesteven, author of the Cycling UK King Alfred's Way guidebook and creator of www.pedallingpast.com


What's it really like to cycle King Alfred's Way? Is it a piece of cake, or rather harder than that?


Julia Goodfellow-Smith was a non-cyclist just six weeks before she and her mountain biking friend Alison set off on this epic 350km route around southern England. Follow Julia's sometimes bumpy journey from cycling novice to riding King Alfred's Way itself.


In Cycling King Alfred's Way: A Piece of Cake? you'll discover what each section of the route is like to cycle, as well as strategies to:

  • Plan your adventure.
  • Make cycling more comfortable.
  • Reach the top of hills without stopping or pushing.
  • Carry on when things get tough.
  • Stay healthy.


Whether you're an experienced cycle tourer or rookie like Julia, learn from her mistakes - and her successes - to make your next bikepacking adventure the best possible success.

Goodfellow-Smith, Julia: - "Julia Goodfellow-Smith is an ordinary person who is doing something extraordinary - living her bucket list. Although she was not a cyclist, as soon as she heard about Cycling UK's King Alfred's Way route, she added it to her bucket list. It didn't take long before she was cycling the path with her friend Alison. She would like to help others do the same, which is why she has written this book. Julia has held a variety of management and consultancy roles in a range of sectors including conservation volunteering, banking and construction. She is currently focusing her attention on adventure, writing and presenting. Julia lives in Wales with her husband Mike, and loves their daily walks along the beach. She is a member of Rotary International and Toastmasters International, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Senator of Junior Chamber International (JCI)."
