I've got an open window to take either an overnighter or 2 nights next week (June 4-6th).  I live in Texas and can get to Silver City in about 9 hours.  I'm looking for something in the 75 to 100 mile range give or take on either end.  I came across this trip report and it looks pretty ideal though I'm not sure how much trail they did.  https://zenondirt.wordpress.com/2015/04/16/pie-town-bikepack-the-perfect-fusion-of-the-cdt-and-gdmbr/

The more singletrack the better but dirt roads and roads are ok to link stuff up.

Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!

Click thru here for a few ideas.  I think it was "The Monumental Loop" that intrigued me a year ago.  But, if you click Route Map and zoom in, it will give you a few options for New Mexico.

Thanks for that.  I actually did the Monument Loop (or, the northern half of it) this past fall.  Good stuff.  I really want to tie in a portion of the CDT if possible.  I found the bike shop there in Silver City so I'll give them a call today.
