You can cycle easily enough to Garve from Ullapool and get a train back from there to Inverness - bit of a climb up and over the head of the Glen but nice roll down into GarveTrain tickets booked with bike reservations had to change my

Thats what I did. There was also a bike bus from Ullapool to Inverness pre-COVID. I don't know whether it's still running.You can cycle easily enough to Garve from Ullapool and get a train back from there to Inverness - bit of a climb up and over the head of the Glen but nice roll down into Garve
Have a great time and fingers crossed for decent weather for you 😊Thank you for your suggestions , but I have decided to cycle back down to Lochboisdale on South uist
And get the ferry to oban makes sense as I all ready have an open return train ticket from Oban to Manchester
If you don't fancy backtracking all the way to Lochboisdale, you can make it into a round trip. Return to Tarbert on Harris and take the ferry to Uig on Skye. Then cycle down to the ferry across to Mallaig. From there you can go down through Lochailort and on around Loch Sunart to Lochaline (about 60 miles). Then ferry to Mull and a dozen miles before the final ferry crossing to Oban.. . . but I have decided to cycle back down to Lochboisdale on South Uist. And get the ferry to oban . . .
The ferry from Lochboisdale does not go to Oban nowadays. At the insistence of one particular individual it goes to Mallaig. He thought his trucks would get further starting the mainland leg from Mallaig rather than Oban. Debatable IMO.Thank you for your suggestions , but I have decided to cycle back down to Lochboisdale on South uist
