[RBW] Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

[WETH]

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.

[RBW] New Tires

[Richard Rose]

I was just about to spring for RH Juniper Ridge tires for the Clem. I was 
interrupted by the sudden availability of a S83 seatpost along with a B67 
saddle - both gently used. This negative impact on my "upgrades" budget had 
me looking at less expensive alternatives to the Rene Herse tires. On 
trusted advice I decided to give these a try; Panaracer Gravelking SS, 650b 
x 48mm, same as the Junipers. These two tires cost me slightly less than 
one of the RH tires, including shipping, on sale. I installed them 
yesterday & hope to give them a go today. I hope they ride as good as they 
look.

[Doug H.]

Weth,
Thank you for sharing. Looks like you guys had a good time. The scenery is 
beautiful. The photo with your bike upright with the kickstand and the 
hardtail on it's side made me think of how useful the small things on a 
bike can be.

Lovely photos. I was going to say " despite the barren landscape" but then
read your Instagram remark. Still, it is barren compared to Southern
England, heck, even compared to the high ABQ desert, but like all deserts
it has a beauty of its own.

>From the rugged trails, 45 miles per day seems a lot.

Re: [RBW] Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

[larson....@gmail.com]

Very nice images and a great bike! I have enjoyed following Pondero’s bike 
travels for several years. Interesting to see how the Hunq fared alongside 
a titanium hard tail. I just built up my first Riv, a 62cm Appaloosa, and 
am looking forward to seeing what types of riding it is capable of. Early 
impressions very favorable. I have always loved the Hunqapillar but could 
not get my hands on one. Good work!

Re: [RBW] Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

['jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch]

SUCH a great trip! Wow, the ML has shot to the top end of my list for sure. 
Some great shots of two of you alsoso often we only get to see the 
bikes! And I can't believe your AWC mug has held up as well as it looks. 

So what's the story on the closet/bed? 
How long were you on the bike each day?
You mentioned stopping in towns, but did you carry food/water for the three 
days?

Beautiful pics all round. Thanks for sharing.

I swooped it up immediately. I live in LA but I took a quick flight up to the

post pics soon!

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Hunqapillar on Monumental Loop

[John Rinker]

That looks like near-perfect terrain for the Hunq, and that blue sky! Wow, 
that was worth the price of admission! Is the Loop friendly to tires with 
tubes in 'em?

Cheers,
