The Gear Patrol team rarely likes to be chained to a desk. We always prefer to get out there and test gear as much as possible — so we packed up some new gear for a day of mountain biking — from the bikes themselves to a hefty Thule rack — and headed to Ringwood State Park for a day on the trail. We also took along two ultra-tough, ever-trusty soft Yeti coolers, the Hopper Two and the Hopper Flip, to keep our lunch (and beers) primed for the finish.
