At Easter I'm going to be travelling up the west coast of Scotland up to Skye. I'm in two minds whether to take the bike or not - what is there to ride? Sounds like a daft question given that I'll be in the Highlands but it'll be a family trip so I won't have a chance for full day epics, couple of hours a few times during the trip max. Any suggestions? Route TBC but thinking Loch Lomond area'ish for a night and then heading towards Oban, Fort Bill and then towards Skye...
Cheers, Dave
Assuming - Fat tyres:
Access is generally unfettered up here os if you see a path then go for it other wise go find some books by Andy McCandlish and others - [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scotland-Mountain-Biking-Trails-Vol-2/dp/190614852X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1422462490&sr=1-2 ]Linky link[/url] Basically go and invest in some OS maps and pick out some routes.

Not too taxing and in your general area.
Bit of a leftfield suggestion... the ride from Scoraig to Badrallach is stunning. Even if not a bike ride it'd be a great family walk out to the Scoraig community.
