King Alfred’s Way is the latest long distance off-road bikepacking trail put together by Cycling UK.

Named after the Anglo-Saxon ruler of the ancient kingdom of Wessex, it runs for 350km (220 miles) passing through 10,000 years worth of British history from stone circles, Iron Age hill forts, medieval cathedrals and more – it’s a mash up of adventure and culture that you can do from the comfort of your saddle.

Due to the ongoing restrictions in place following the coronavirus pandemic, and to protect the health and safety of members, trustees, staff and others the Annual General Meeting will this year be held as a virtual meeting. 

Agenda

11:00 Ordinary Business

Annoying creaks? Wobbly bits? Making sure your bike is roadworthy is not just about comfort it is also important to keep you going while riding. 

The better you look after your bike, the longer it will last, and the safer you will be. 

In this class, you will follow along with Silvi Vargas as she talks through an "M-check" and how to make basic adjustments to your bike. Every bike is different, so you can share your video screen and get live advice about your own bike as you work.

Knowing how to fix a puncture is essential for any cyclist. It is the basic knowledge that will get you out of sticky situations yourself, and once you are confident enough to fix your own bike you may even be able to help out others too!

We are inviting women to join our free online bicycle mechanic workshop. Due to social distancing measures it will take place in our "virtual classroom" where you can follow along in the comfort of your own home, learn how to fix your bike yourself, and have all your questions answered.

Yoga can help you improve performance, make you feel more comfortable on a bike, reduce chances of injury and can even help you to overcome some of the psychological challenges cycling presents. 

We will be bringing you a free hour long live yoga session, designed specifically for cyclists by yoga teacher, physiotherapist and keen cyclist Alice McNeil.

Cycling UK wants to do more to make cycling an inclusive activity for all women, trans and under-represented communities. Our recent activity opening up this conversation has shown there is work to be done to engage with these communities and ensure greater inclusion within cycling.

This year’s Women’s Festival of Cycling takes place at a time when more people are cycling, bike sales are up, more families are cycling together, and Governments across the UK are telling everyone to cycle to work. During the Women’s Festival of Cycling we are looking at how we seize this moment and keep those women new to cycling on their bikes, as well as enabling others to take it up.
