Would agree on its being a tough track - have cycled up to Poca Buidhe in the past but did have to carry the bike on some rougher parts - so bumpy on the way down that my front wheel QR worked loose at one point and had to stop to tighten it before the wheel came completely loose
- cheers
Cheers, i read about you cycling this route and for some reason i thought you'd did the Corbetts

I got a lift up the track to Loch Braigh Horrisdale (a little further west) on a quad bike for work last week. Even that was barely faster than walking!
Yeah it's the roughest track i've ever cycled

I'm a rubbish cyclist on rough paths.
Still to do these two and they look like a cracking pair of C's
That's the smart way, i'm still shaking from the cycle

They are great ridge walks, Beinn an Eoin is nice and gradual and if doing on its own you will avoid the steep descent by returning down the ridge. As for Baosbheinn, its more up and down and the SMC book recommends continuing down the ridge to return back to the start.
