Depends on your definition of interesting, but the Sustrans 7 is a decent route up, suitable for a 23c road bike.

Or you could break off at Dalnaspidal Lodge and do the Gaick Pass as that'd probably go nicely on the cross bike, other than the wet bit in the middle.

I have a couple of off-road options from Crubenbeg to Inverness. They'd mostly work out on the cross bike. I can even give you a hint on where to avoid the bogiest section :-)

I can also help with Bankfoot to Dunkeld, Dunkeld to Pitlochry and Pitlochry to Blair Atholl. Let me have dinner and I'll see how much I can scrape together.

Bugger, bugger, bugger. Forgot about this in a rush to do other stuff last week.

Here is a route that should give you some ideas. Quiet road, some sustrans, some nice singletrack, some landie stuff. Have a wee look at it and ask away....
