Applecross is deft worth the drive, esp if also riding at Torridon 🙂
The trail mentioned from Applecross – Kenmore is one of the most underated rides in the Highlands, serious buffed singletrack that undulates with climbs and descents which make it a good out and back from Applecross. Mid week you will be lucky to meet anyone on the route before August, you will really feel “out there”… take good clothing as weather can turn and cloud comes down, but trail is very defined.
There is also the short coastal trail to the beach where Monty did the first “Great Escape” BBC series 😀
I did a film a few years back, half way through the film is the trail from Kenmore back to Applecross. I only had a fat bike as had just returned via Skye from Harris/Lewis west coast beaches but the film will give you an idea.
Take a nice hardtail and enjoy some classic Mountainbiking, oh and check out the Sea Kayaking day trip if it is still run beside the campsite 🙂
