Three days is a really nice time to do it over.
Plenty of camping spots after 30 mins or so cycling out of Inverness.
After Fort Augustus you’ve got one of the toughest sections (Corrieyairack Pass) as well as the most remote so stock up with snacks.
Corrour Station House is a must but I’d recommend booking. Even though it is literally in the middle of nowhere, it’s sometimes full with large walking groups.
There’s also an apparently a good goat ice cream place just off route called Achrey Farm but I’ve never been.
Bridge of Balgie/Glen Lyon Tea Rooms also strongly recommend.
Good camping spots around Loch Laggan on the first day and around Glen Ogle/Loch Earn on the second.
Have fun and share some photos when you’re done!

Sweet! Thanks for the info. Got that stuff jotted down.
I booked the trains without properly sitting down and planning it, so the closer to 4 day time should make it pretty chill to be fair. 15km the first evening, 80-100km the next 3 days, 60-odd km to get into Glasgow for the 3pm train to Euston on the final day. Must remember that I’ve actually got some time to enjoy the place and not just get lost in the pedalling like I did in the only other ‘big trip’ that I did. Otherwise I’m gonna end up on the outskirts of Glasgow with time to kill… -

Achray farm, just incase anyone is googling it. Well worth a visit, just be warned, the goats ain't shy!

Okay so in prep for this I thought I’d ask here to get any advice for anyone who has done it or knows some about the ride.
Im going in August, getting to Inverness on a Monday at 8pm, planning to ride a bit out the city and camp.
I’ve booked a train back from Glasgow at 3pm-ish on the Friday. So that gives me about 3 2/3 days to do it, roughly 100km a day.
Cheers all
