Have you done any bike and hike trips before?
What trips have you done this year with at least 1400m elevation gain?
Are you cool with this being a fast-paced (but easy-going) trip?
Do you think you can complete this trip in less than 6-7 hours return?

Bike up past the Seymour Fish Hatchery 12km (<1 hr), lock up bikes, then hike to Bishop, Jarret (Deacon), and Presbyter
The total hike for that is about 9km RT (but 1400-1500m cumulative elevation gain), we can judge the time and see if we feel up to doing Vicar + Curate as well (I think not though)
That would make the total hike more like 14km and 1700m+ gain, plus the 12km bike back out (but downhill!)
I am planning to do this as a very fast-paced trip with only microbreaks and a short summit break (but not trail running), but don't want to leave people behind either.
My best guess is being able to do this in about 6-7 hrs including biking so we may need headlamps for the bike out!
I bike and hiked South + Middle Needle and then Coliseum + Burwell last year so this is the next step up for me!
