💙 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.
👏💪

🚴 Etape Loch Ness: 12 Weeks to Go! 🚴🏾♀️🏔️
We’re officially in the 12 week countdown, and it’s time to step up your training! Over the next 4 weeks, focus on:
Longer weekend rides - build endurance and get comfortable in the saddle.
Midweek intensity - turbo or road sessions to push your pace. Road or indoor, just make sure you stay safe on icy roads ❄️.
By the end of this block, you’ll be halfway through the plan. From here, we switch to two weeks hard, one week easier - reducing volume and intensity to about 60% so your body can recover and prepare for the next push 💪.
🤒 Feeling under the weather? Take the rest you need. Jump back in at the same point when you’re ready. Your body will thank you!
Don’t forget, our Training Zone has all the tools and tips to help you prepare - check them out here : https://www.etapelochness.com/training-zone

Etape Loch Ness isn’t just a ride, it’s a journey through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Highlands.
Wide open roads, quiet moments by the water… and that shared feeling of we’re all in this together.
Every pedal stroke reminds you what you’re capable of and adds to the story you’ll be proud to share for years to come.
If you`re in need of a bit of extra motivation, or just want to feel that pre-event buzz, join the Etape Loch Ness Strava Club to connect with fellow riders, swap tips, share your miles, and soak up the motivation all the way to the start line 💪
