From 22:40 on the iPlayer link (above).includes longish interview with a cyclist.
The A896 goes straight north from Kishorn to Shieldaig and is an easy drive (for the 'support vehicle'). meanwhile you have the amazing and legendary Bealach na Ba climb (and descent) to Applecross, followed by the ride round the coast road to Shieldaig or on to Torridon (to the hotel?).she needs to be comfortable and confident when driving, I feel that won't be the case round those roads.
NC500 is definitely on my list of rides to do, albeit with the return from JoG not on the A99/A9 but back past Thurso to Bettyhill and south along Strathnaver, past the 'new' Crask Inn, and down to Lairg, the Falls of Shin, Bonar Bridge, Ardgay, the hill (B) road to Alness and on back to Inverness.
