The weather looked questionable and saw lightening at 3AM leave W I70, but skies cleared into a beautiful sunny, clear day to summit both Grays and Torreys. I took a previous climber's advice, at first with apprehension, but glad I took my mountain bike. I could bike faster than 5mph up and was down in 25 minutes to I70 parking lot. Only negative was that drivers, up & down, do not brake for a cyclist, and I had to wait in ditch for them to pass. Otherwise, the experience of Grays and Torreys was an even paced hike, spectacular views, friendly & encouraging people/dogs, high 5s at the top and help taking pics. Good climbs.
