Velo’s Vanessa Vander travelled north to Inverness to take part in the Etape Loch Ness. Taking in 66 miles, it is Scotland’s longest and largest sportive held on traffic free roads, along both banks of the famous Loch.

Despite not seeing Nessy along the way, Vanessa completed the distance in a little over 5 hours, making it her longest ride to date, and completing the ‘London Classics’ Series which also includes the London Marathon and Swim Serpentine events.

Well done Vanessa!
