Take a fantastic 150 mile road cycle around the West Highlands starting and finishing from Off Beat Bikes in Fort William. This beautiful route incorporates part of Sustrans Route 78 leading along the cycle route to Oban. Oban makes a good overnight stop before taking the ferry to the Island of Mull. It’s a peaceful cycle through Mull to the North of the island to Tobemory.
Another ferry (times to and from the Island of Mull are with Calmac can be found here) takes you from Tobemory back to the mainland at Lochaline before heading to Glenborrodale and on to Glenuig. This eventually meets
the A830 to return to Fort William passing the Glenfinnan Monument on the way.
There are plenty of accommodation options along the way.
Note: The small ferry timetable to Camusngahael from Fort William, part of Sustrans Route 78 can be found here.
