Pic of a training ride along the Rio Grande!
Setting off on the New Mexico Off-Road Runner bikepacking .com route next week! Cutting out some of the tougher MTB parts – starting south of Albuqurque and ending in Truth Or Consequences – so skipping Rowe Mesa and the Chloride Canyon loop. Planning on taking the El Paso Limo Express bus back to ABQ.
Little worried I have too much as always (probably too much food)! Coming from the bicycle road touring world, I was able to stuff so much in my panniers. Need lots of water for this route – planning on 2x 2l smart water bottles and a 3 liter camelbak.
Have done a bunch of overnighters and 2 day trips but this will be my first longish ride. Gonna really test this Costco Intense 951 Gravel Series bike! Put some tubeless Gravel King Sk + 700×50's on there, so feeling a little more confident.
Anyone else do this route, any tips? I will take all judgments of my setup!
