Crystal Lake to Mt Baldy

Monday we set out to ride up to Crystal Lake and then back home.  Once we got up to the Crystal Lake Cafe Attila was pushing us to ride up to Hwy 39 and then to Dawson's Saddle.  After Dawson's Saddle, he wanted to head to La Cañada and ultimately complete the Circle of Doom route.  I didn't have it in me but made to the call to my wife to let her know my ride it going to be longer than usual.  Fortunately/Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a hold of my wife, so Warren and I decided to head home.  Warren wanted to ride back home via East Fork to Mt Baldy.  It was a hard ride and a ton of climbing but we did it.  It was a hard day, but with Warren's encouragement, I was able to complete the ride.
