Hmmm...next year,my divorse will be final,and I'll have a new wife,and this one rides a bit. She and I will both take our first ever mini-tour,maybe the C & O Tow Path trail between DC and Maryland,maybe some of WV's New River rail trail...something romoantic,scenic,awesome.
I have 2 ridable bikes,both mtn bikes,but one a 29er with rear rack mounts (the stock rigid fork has em too) but disc brakes,maybe use the 'Cross tires on the stock wheelset,get some frame/seat/bar bags like those Great Divide racers use.
She has....a dept store special,we'll have to remedy that
