As much fire road as you can shake a stick at. From loch add you could possibly do ven venue or over saddle to Ben lomond

There's a nice wee route round the back of Loch Chon, round the back of Ben Lomond (I think) then pops out at Inversnaid.. Mostly LR track but some awesome scenery on the way and it's a decent wee ride. Has a cracking descent on some very steep switchbacks down to the the Shore of Loch Lomond where it joins the WHW for a bit.

There's some nice routes round there. You can go around Loch Venacher in a clockwise direction I think is best. Another nice loop going from Aberfoyle north east alongside Mentieths then west along Loch Venacher then south back to Aberfoyle via Loch Drunkie. Ben Venue is meant to be good but not done that. Ben A'an if you're a riding god like Joe Barnes:

As dh says that route from Loch Ard forest over to Loch Lomond via Cailness cottage would be a good one and you could come back via Balmaha and route 7. Would be a long one but really nice. The WHW between Cailness and Balmaha is a great ride.
