We recently asked our seasoned riders for their top tips on conquering the legendary Glendoe climb.
Here`s what they said:

Find a hill buddy 👥 - Chatting on the climb helps steady your breathing and keeps your mind off the burn.

Carb up before the ascent

Layer up 🧥 - An extra layer helps on the chilly downhill after.

Know the climb - there are three sections. The top isn’t where it first flattens; it’s where the bagpiper is. Recover on the flats between sections.

Practise hills 💪 - Confidence comes from preparation.

Gear smart ⚙️ - The right gearing makes all the difference.

Find your rhythm - Not too fast, not too slow, and grind steadily. Keep the glorious descent in mind!

Listen carefully… those bagpipes signal the top, and they`ve never sounded sweeter than at Glendoe 😍

Have you got anything to add?

💙 Cyclist’s Story : Meet Helen Andrews 🚴‍♀️

This year marks Helen`s second time taking on the Etape Loch Ness - proof that the challenge never loses its magic.

At nearly 70 years young, she may well be one of the oldest female riders on the course!

Helen, you are an absolute inspiration and a brilliant reminder that age is just a number when it comes to passion, determination and joy of riding.

👏💪
