Some friends and I completed it this weekend and the section from Inverness to Fort Augustus follows some tough terrain so you would be best on a MTB. From Fort Augustus to Fort William is much easier and you could get away with a hybrid. |

I used a hybrid and it was a really enjoyable day. Any traffic around gave plenty of space when passing and the scenery was stunning. It was one of the best days of the trip. |
