    Friday would've been tricky, getting up here on a bike as opposed to running & walking (and a
    bit of scrambling) -

    That's what a light SS is for. Use it to approach the scramble, stash it, then rip back down.

    Dammit, you have spotted the flaw in my arguement. The ride-in to that peak would've been
    fantastic, but the girl I was with didn't have her bike with her.

    You knew who would find that as well. I once rode in to the Santa Ana Mountains, scrambled on some
    rock ledges and watched a Blue Angels air show in El Toro from on high. They had a turnaround right
    in front of me and waved back every time they passed (very close).

    The girl in question has cycled solo across the Tibetan plateau, and is probably the fastest
    person I've ever cycled with. I cheerfully predict she'd kick the butts of most people posting
    here. She just didn't have her bike with her, and the nearest decent hire bike was over 80
    miles away.

    Birds of a feather is what I would have guessed. Your prediction is probably right. Did she learn
    her lesson that she should bring the bike everywhere?

    She was going to, but like a fool I told her not to bother, thinking we'd be able to get one if we
    needed it. D'oh.

    Biking and running for cross training. How would you do this? Bike one day and run or power walk
    the next? Or Bike and run the same day? If the same day, Morning and evening or together?

    To answer the original question - all of the above.
