    I went to take some pictures of the lot my house will be built on in
    Golden and since it's only a 1/4 mile from White Ranch, why not a ride
    as well.

    Here's the lot:

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_4994.jpg

    The ride turned out to be a "now I know why I didn't take that trail the
    last time" ride. It started with the bottom of White Ranch and not the
    top as I did the first time I rode here. So that meant the climb up
    Belcher. Having only done a short amount of it the last time, I now
    know why it is so nasty. No, not the rocks. Just a relentless climb.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5006.jpg

    On and on and on.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5007.jpg

    A quick pause to catch my breath and a view.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5008.jpg

    Then more %$#!^*& climbing!

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5009.jpg

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5013.jpg

    It really doesn't seem like it ever ends.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5015.jpg

    After reaching Rawhide, I make my second mistake. I take the fire road
    down. That means climbing up again. I should have done it in reverse
    as coming up the fire road would have been far easier than the water bar
    steep ass singletrack climb I ended up doing. It sure would have been
    fun to go down it, though.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5016.jpg

    eventually rawhide does end up going down again and on my third attempt
    I get the timing right.

    http://www.schnauzers.ws/images/111106/IMG_5019.jpg

    I finish off with long horn to whipple and that was another mistake.
    Last time I took short horn which saved me the nerve racking endo laden
    long horn. None-the-less I manage to clean 75% of the downhill save for
    one moment where I was doing a rear wheelie for about five seconds. As
    I am looking straight down at the boulders I figured I had to choices.
    One was I was going to get hurt and the second one was I was going to
    get hurt. Some how I pull it out and land back on the wheel. It was at
    that point that the 25% I did not try happened. Still a fun ride and
    since it will be my local I better get used to it.
