Awesome as usual, Mike - I'm envious - I need to get out on the bike in the mountains one of these days. What was the difference in taking the LHT vs the AHH this year? I'm currently trying to work out a "mt touring backroad bike". I don't much like the feel of rear loading bikes, so I'm leaning towards a front loader "rando" style bike, but the Hunqa is really calling my name. I took a test ride on a couple this year and had one of those religious experiences with the 54cm and Mustache bars.
