CGR Mountain Bike Trip Crystal Mountain Loop July 27th

So Sean and I have both got new bikes this summer.  I got a Cannondale Claymore 2 and Sean got a Rock Mountain Slayer 70.  We have had about 8 trips to Duthie a few trips to Dash Point but decided to mix it up and head to good old Crystal Mountain this weekend!  We got super lucky because Jessie Haley was going to go hiking with her boy Todd up at Crystal and they decided to join us for a bike ride instead.
It was an amazing loop but Crystal seriously needs to get with the program and allow bikes on the gondola..... that was a long way up!  The ride was amazing!
