since balloch is just 8 miles from me i can say that there are a few good pubs there.
if you want a bike pub there is Carbeth inn just outside glasgow great food and free refils of coffee and you can get from balloch to it very easily (15 miles).
as for the road up the lochside - after tarbert is is crap better going via arochar ( you dont turn right as you would normally) and up to inverary then take the back road to dalmaly and taynult green wellie stop (again a good bike stop) before glen coe. as most have said crainlarich is a one house town better going to fort william as it is an easy ride from balloch to the start of the great glen then you could go via glen gary or up the great glen to inverness.
If you thought youth hostels were all bunks and ging gang gooly then have a look at this http://www.syha.org.uk/hostels/highlands/carbisdale_castle.aspx just north of inverness and at ?17 per night is still cheap.
if you need helping hand to find carbeth inn just shout as you might have too much fun on the roads about balloch
