Boulder - White Range 2007

The last ride of our trip! We were sad and happy at the same time ... started to miss our families. White Range is about 10km from Golden, a very small town where the Yeti bike comes from. When Aletta and I was in the US last we also rode here and quit enjoyed the trails ... they have a Maverick loop! This year, 10 min into the ride, where we had to choose which direction at a T-junction, I made the wrong call and we rode White Range anti-clockwise. For 1h45 min we climbed/pushed our bikes uphill. Until we reached the top of the mountain. Once there we had many options to choose from, but I thought ... no ways ... I know the route we have taken up and it is the perfect downhill ... not going to go down an easier downhill on one of the other trails. So around we turned and shot strait down the mountain ... down an awesome downhill ... a 40 minute run of pure adrenaline!
At White Range the often have Mountain Lion sigthings ... have a look at the words on the sign.



That was it for the USA. After this ride we went to visit Maverick America and learnt about all the exiting stuff they have install for us for the next 18 months, but more about this another time. The next morning our 2-day long journey back home started ... and man was it a long journey!!
Untill our next adventure.... Cheers from Johann & Malan
