I'd probably go West rather than North of Inverness. The islands is definitely the right answer if you have the time to get out there. Pretty much all the Hebrides are amazing but personally I love Barra and Islay/Jura are stunning too. Distilleries, beaches, pubs and amazing poeple (and music if you're into that!).
If you want to stay on the mainland the country north of Inverness is lovely but gets bleaker and bleaker if the weather turns! I did a stunning bit of road between Alness and Bettyhill that I can send you the route for if you're interested...

Hey there!
Me & my friend are planning to go to Scotland for a cycling trip during the summer. We are really in the 1st planning phase and just want to hang out in beautiful surroundings, that's all, and this would be Inverness and north of it. So I haven't gathered too many information on anything yet, just asking.
Would you have any suggestions on the routes, towns to stop by, places to spend the night, meet nice people (maybe any of you? :) ) and which month do you suggest for that? I've been to Scotland once, I was lucky, without rain, but I know it doesn't depend on that...
Thanks for any ideas! Eszter
