Sorry, I was referring to the bit of my route, rather than of the NC500. Namely speaking, the section from km200 to km400 of the HT550 below (from Inverness to Achfary):

near oykel bridge, the doubletrack is fairly easy riding. don't miss the schoolhouse bothy.
the northernmost 40k, def avoid unless you have a real love for hike-a-bike.
glenddhu bothy, worth a ride over the incredibly steep hill north of it.
kylesku to lochinver - beautiful, quiet. i'd then continue south to badnagyle and follow the roads into ullapool. great hostel there.

This is the most busy part of it as there is only one road all the way to John o groats. I always suggest people take the Tongue -Lairg- Alness route from the top as its quiet and nice cycling
