Seeking a cycling buddy to do great Glen way

Anyone ideas on how to find one? Keen to do this one over two days in the summer but all my friends hate cycling and my kids are not keen on cycling, preferring somewhere more local. Not.keen on doing this on my own. If any fellow fabber was keen that would be great but it would be purely a cycling buddy and no more.

"Starting from Fort Bill northwards or heading south eastish from inverness? "

Most folk go North as the wind is usually behind you and the sun is better.

It's more North East than North.

The Great Glen Way is a way marked route from Fort William to Inverness, can be done in a variety of methods.

Have walked it and have kayaked it.

Can be cycled or done by horse.

When cycling can do it on or off road.

Did this as part of a longer trip last year. Long off road section past loch lochy and the hill out of Fort Augustus is a killer! Easy to do over two days though.

Off road mainly. Lots of crazy drivers on these roads! I have a number of free days
