Two mates managed this recently.. its a first by bike as far as is known.... hard enough by foot.

Tranter’s Round was inaugurated by Philip Tranter in 1964. It is an elegant round of the “Lochaber Munros” starting and finishing at the Glen Nevis Youth Hostel.
In total, there are 18 Munros, but 19 mountains (one Mamore was reclassified as a Corbett in 1997). Four of the mountains are 4000fters.
The route extends to 36 miles (58km) and 20,600ft (6279m) of ascent.
For many people, the goal is a sub 24-hour time to walk or run Tranter’s.
Hill running athleticism being what it is, in 1978 Charlie Ramsay completed his now famous Ramsay’s Round of 24 Munros in 24-hours. Ramsay’s is an extension of Tranter’s.

Yet until last month, no one had completed Tranter’s on a mountain bike.

Pretty amazing achievement... more here:
