From here on, anybody wishing a day off the bikes to do their own thing can do so at their leisure whilst the rest of us progress with the itinerary detailed below.

Day 4: The first of our loop days in the Tour.  We take in a nice easy day here to give everyone a bit of a rest after 3 great but long days riding.  We make our way down the North side of Loch Ness to the village of Drumnadrochit.  Here we will take some time off the bikes to allow each of you to do something of your own choosing such as a boat tour on Loch Ness or a visit around the Loch Ness Exhibition centre, Urquhart Castle visitor centre or perhaps just a look around the village. After lunch we begin heading to our secret scenic glen for some views of unspoilt natural Scotland.  Heading back towards Inverness we make a refreshments stop in Beauly, home of the Beauly Priory; A 13th Century abbey ruins. We then take a gentle scenic route back to the accommodation.

This day is a fairly easy paced day with physical distillery tours an option if anyone wishes to do so. We recommend the Aberlour distillery as we can also pick up some world famous Walkers Shortbread next door.
