The trail sounds great. Anyone got any photos?
I have some on my blog [url= http://ianezzi.blogspot.com/ ]Shallow Ecosse[/url], although I haven't updated it in a couple of years so they might be a bit dusty...
Try some on our blog here...

Cynic-al and McMoonter have some quality ones. Lots of '80's Lycra and climbing tights on show.

and they were only taken last year....

An arbitary line on a map, some of which is unrideable, weaving around dozens of walkers, with only a couple of really, really good bits?
I do think there are much better rides in Scotland.
Each to their own.
I'd be happy to see any other photos of Scottish biking.....

Yep, pretty good Glencoe to FW IMO.
Anyway, looking back into Glencoe after climbing the 'Staircase':

Most of it is hardly arbitary.
Besides, same could be said of dozens of other so called 'classics.' Glen Tilt springs to mind...
In a nutshell, more than a little uncharitable that comment. You don't get 96 miles of snaking singletrack but most folk who tackle it don't come away feeling short changed on the overall experience.
Must be zillions of pics on the web - google images?
Ah that's more like it. Lovely photos.
These bits actually face North to South. Doing it that way has its advantages (mainly hitting 99% of walkers head-on) but overall I think finishing in Fort William is a much better way to end than 20 dull miles into Milngavie.
I'd have to say it's one of my favourite bike routes that I've done, although that could partly have been bolstered by the social aspects. There's better riding out there, of course, but scenery wise the 2nd half is excellent. It's quite refreshing to be riding in open country and not have to navigate. It also takes a lot less logistical planning in terms of stops for accommodation or food, as being a developed route it's much better served than heading off into the Cairngorms for example.

That looks magic.
