From first light to the final sprint, the energy was unreal.

You didn’t just ride 66 miles - you conquered the loch and the Glendoe summit and became a Loch Ness legend.

💚Cyclist`s Stories: Fraser Brown - Riding for `Whisky` 💚

This year at Etape Loch Ness, Fraser and his friends were riding for someone very special - their best friend, Paul “Whisky” Walker who passed away from Sarcoma last year. 🚴♂️

`Whisky` was a man who defined resilience. Even when facing the most difficult health challenges, he took to his bike with everything he had.

In 2026, four friends took to the start line together in his memory: Fraser, Gillon, Chris, and first-timer Jay - continuing a tradition they hope to carry on for years to come.

Reaching the top of the climb was emotional, not just because of the effort it took to get there, but because it’s a moment that reminds them of their friend - and how much he loved the ride.

As Fraser beautifully put it: "Love you Whisky see you at the top" 🏔️✨

We were honoured to have Fraser, his team and everyone who rode for a loved one or a special cause this weekend.
