I spent a few days with a friend exploring Las Cruces, NM and the northern half of the Monument Loop 2.0 ( https://bikepacking.com/routes/monumental-loop/). I rode my Hunqapillar and found it equal to the task. The Monumental Loop contains paved roads, paved bike paths, gravel paths, dirt roads of varying quality, single track, and sections of hike-a-bike trails. I find the desert therapeutic, especially in early spring! The camping spots we found were beautiful and remote. We divided the northern half of the loop into three 45ish mile days, which was the perfect pace at which to enjoy the scenery, to eat meals in a few of towns we passed through, and to insure remote camping spots.
