Popularly known as the oldest road in Britain, the Icknield Way runs from Buckinghamshire to Norfolk. It forms part of a prehistoric highway that diagonally crossed the country, connecting important ancient trading ports in Dorset (which connected England to the Mediterranean) and East Anglia (where the Scandinavian goods landed). Starting at sunrise on the Jurassic Coast, the Rapha Continental set out in Thomas’s footsteps, and those of the old-way wanderers since time immemorial, to cycle the Icknield Way.
