I think the Quirang was a #5, at least the first half anyway.

I reckon the Sligachan loop started at a #4, but became a #5 when when we realized it took us over 4 hours to travel 8 miles. Became a #5+ when we ran out of water and traversed the neverending boggy glen of doom.

I think that's the most recent time that I honestly could have seen my bike far enough.

Vertigo aside I don't think Quirang was a 5, it wasn't that hard it just wasn't bike friendly until we got past the prison, not really a bike route at all with the walking/climbing involved.

Slig loop was definately a 5, we all started out so happy and cheery, mindlessly riding into the apocalypse to come.

Blackmount/Glen Etive = 7 (8 on a rigid) :shock:

Nevis = let's guess at a 4, subject to review
