The eyes of the world’s cycling community will be firmly...

For cousins Martin Kennedy, Craig Wilson, and Stuart Manock, this year’s Etape is deeply personal.

They’re riding in memory of their Gran, Aileen Ligertwood, who dedicated years to @macmillancancer on the Inverness committee before passing away last year at age 93. 💚

This is no small feat - none of the trio were cyclists before signing up, and two didn`t even own a bike! They`ve been training hard to tackle the 66-mile course to continue Aileen’s legacy of helping others.

We’re so inspired by their grit and motivation. Let`s show them some Etape support! 👏

💙 Cyclist`s Story: Callum Kelsey

"I felt like I was just going through the motions, not truly living."

Following the tragic loss of his best friend to suicide last year, Callum was determined to honour his friend`s memory and set himself a challenge: to lose 35kg and complete the Etape Loch Ness.

He has already smashed his £1,000 target for a mental health charity.

Good luck, Callum! We are all rooting for you at the finish line.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚴🏾 2 weeks to go! 🦕 🚴

In a couple of weeks, thousands will be lining up in the Scottish Highlands for the ride of the year.

The long training rides are almost behind you - now it’s time to focus on the details to ensure a smooth ride:

🛠️ Check the bike: Is everything running smoothly? (Maybe a final tune-up? ⚙️)

🍌 Check the fuel: Have you nailed your nutrition and hydration plan? 🍶

🌤️ Check the kit: Think layers🧤🌬️

🍶 Hydration is key: ensure your body is hydrated before you hit the start line.

💤 Prioritise rest: Never underestimate the power of a good night`s sleep.

🔋💪 Time to taper: Reduce your mileage and let your legs recover. Trust the hard work you’ve put in; you’re building up the energy stores you’ll need for the big day.

The finish line feeling is so close we can almost taste that @harrygowbakery Dream Ring!
