Highly experience backpacker from Colorado looking to try bikepacking for the first time. Seeking 1 or more partners for a 2-3 day trip near Ruidoso NM, starting Sunday Sept 2nd (I'm driving down from Colorado on Saturday). The loops is called Billy the Kid + Smokey the Bear and more information can be found here:
http://www.bikepacking.com/routes/lincoln-national-forest-nm/ While I don't have any experience bikepacking, I have been ultralight backpacking long-distance in the Rockies for years. I have a tuned-up old montain bike and will have the basic gear needed. I'm also pretty laid back and looking to just enjoy the outdoors. If interested in joining me, please let me know. My email is

Thanks, Brad
