Preparing for Seattle - A Day Trip to Chester
Day Zero - 214 miles.
I plan on taking my wife on the bike to Seattle to visit my sister and brother-in-law, but it's been a seriously long time since W traveled with me by bike. And certainly never on a cruiser, so a day trip seems in order to check out the seating arrangement.
It was 99 miles to Chester by way of Chico and 115 miles back by way of the Feather River Canyon. The longer route was by far the better from the back seat perspective. Newer roadbed, fewer bumps, curves, and speed changes. She was pretty sore by the time we got home.
She adapted a saddlepad for the rear seat. Initially with batting to pad it out, but that compressed and got hard. It was far better when she removed it and just used the fleece.
