A mate has just been on trying to persuade me to take up a sudden vacancy on his walking groups trip to Scotland in February. He is taking his bike and I would want to ride a lot more than walk so is there enough riding based 20 miles west of Inverness to keep me going for a week? I will hopefully have use of a car but don't want to have to drive miles every day to ride.

Can you be a bit more precise about the location? There's loads of tracks and trails out that way.

I'm pretty certain that I could put up with the driving if I was only 40 miles away from Torridon.

Try abriachian, loads of trails and also links with the great glen way.

Glen Affric isn't far away. There's a track north over to Orrin Resr that's on.the HTR550 route. Abriachan. Not a massive drive to the Puffer course at Contin either.

Its all on tarmac, but there's a nice private road all of the way up Strathfarrar to Loch Monar. Starts just opposite Erchless Castle, then 25km with great scenery and hardly any traffic.

Yes, the track to Orrin is nice as well.
Also a few forest tracks around Glenurquhart.
