I do it the other way: ride my guts out for several hours, then do a 4-5 hour hike the next day. Works great. IMO best recovery ever because it adds strength and endurance. Gives me a leg up on the rest of the pack. But bike is my main sport, hiking is just for fun. I hike with my wife and the hike is all zone 1, and do I every love it..
