Bikepacking the Anza Hapaha Loop in Anza Borrego State Park

what a beast of a ride! I love the on bike commentary - the storytelling is great.

[@christianw8856]

“Gotta stay positive” - I love that you keep coming back to that line, that ride back was INTENSE😬

Thanks for the video. I hate Headwind, such a buzz kill

[@jeffweber3295]

Nice work, I want to this area or Dunn Road to Pinyon Pines in April.

[@inthemountainswithmonte6844]

Thank you. It’s beautiful out there, enjoy.

A great place to find rattlesnakes

[@inthemountainswithmonte6844]

I did not see any but I was not actively looking for them either. It was a bit cold those two days.

[@jeffweber3295]

Hi you said you carried 2 gallons of water, was that enough? Thanks

[@inthemountainswithmonte6844]

Hi Jeff. It ended up being plenty. In fact, I did not drink all of it. I tend to take a more cautious approach when riding and plan for the worst.

[@sneakyray9160]

How much total weight you’re hauling on your bike? Have you ever weighed it? Looks like a brutal journey..

[@inthemountainswithmonte6844]

I enjoy the challenge. No idea on weight. There’s no water out there and I think I was just under 2 gallons. That’s the most significant weight.

[@rdebruyn]

Just a bit of a final slog...

[@inthemountainswithmonte6844]

Ha, 13 miles of straight into a headwind, final slog.
