I'd planned on riding with a couple friends on Saturday, but everyone bailed. I was pretty bummed and wasn't
going to go, but the wife told me to go ride anyway, so I grabbed my camera and headed out to White Ranch,
a trail just north of Golden. I took my time and took a bunch of pictures, so here's White Ranch:
The first trail, Belcher Hill, starts out pretty mellow, but looking ahead you can see it climbing up the moutain:
Nice little creek crossing before you start the first climb:
And then you climb:
And climb:
After branching off on Long Horn trail, you climb some more:
The trail mellows out for a while and you're greeted with some nice views looking northeast:
The trail soon becomes a roller coaster and gets a bit rocky in sections:
But its quickly followed by some of the sweetest smooth singletrack:
Which is followed by more rock:
And more smooth sweetness:
And more rock:
And then you begin to climb again:
And climb:
And yet more climbing:
Once you reach the top, the meadows open up and you're greeted with some good views while you sit and eat a bit:
And that's all the pics I took. The downhill is way too fun to stop and take pictures.
