SUMMARY:Dangerbird and Safetybird rides on the Monumental Loop in Las Cruces\, New Mexico
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”teammateRow”][vc_column width=”1/4″ el_class=”teammateImage”][vc_single_image image=”74940″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″ el_class=”teammateDescription”][vc_row_inner el_class=”TeammateContent”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nDangerbird is hosted by Bikepacking Root’s Board Member Matt Mason. Plus\, the whole Bikepacking Roots staff team will be there\, along with some additional board members! \n\n\nDangerbird is the annual kick-off event to bikepack the Monumental Loop\, a Bikepacking Root’s Route\, – the informal route that connects all parts of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. This event started out with community bikers and now has expanded to inviting bikepackers from across New Mexico\, across the United States\, and even a few from across the Atlantic!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Monumental Loop is a love letter to the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. OMDP is  half a million acres of protected landscape is separated into four parts: the Organ Mountains\, the Doña Anas\, the Sierra de Las Uvas\, and the Portrillos. Local mountain bikers and recreationists created the 250 mile Monumental Loop as a way to connect all four parts\, making an informal route that highlights amazing features of OMDP. Every year\, we organize an annual ride for bikepackers\, and local cyclists to experience the entirety of this monument our community worked for years to protect through federal designation. \n\n\nIs Dangerbird right for you?\n\n\n\n\nDangerbird is a self-supported bikepacking event\, which can be physically and mentally demanding. We recommend participants to have experience riding long distances and be comfortable being self sufficient for multiple days. \nThis route travels through remote areas where cell service is limited and desert conditions can change quickly. Riders should have the skills\, equipment\, and judgment needed to safely manage these conditions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nMore details and register here: https://organmountainsdesertpeaks.org/dangerbird/ \n\n\n\n  \nThis event is part of Bikepacking Root’s Community Event Calendar\, where we share bikepacking events across the US and Canada. Bikepacking Roots is not involved in the hosting of this event unless otherwise noted. Please reach out to the organizer for more information.  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
