Route advice for Kyrgystan

I'm looking at a cycling trip there and debating a few routes south of Issyk Kul and towards Naryn. There seems to be at least two options, one from Tosor going over the Tosor Pass, or another one from Barskoon going over the Arabel Pass. Is anyone familiar with how bikeable both routes are, and which would be the best for scenery? Would there by any services, like tent camps or any food, on either route?

My second question is on Kel Suu lake. It's quite remote with no services at all from what I can gather, even very little water apparently. Is it worth the detour?

And finally, how likely is Kegety pass passable on a bike at the end of July?
