Did this with the missus. She hadn't ridden a bike in 20 years, so I thought the red was out of the question! A very nice, wide, quiet, easy ride. Mostly flat with a few inclines (I won't call them hills). Surfaces differ between mostly hard pack and sand. All in all, a nice "get you away from it all" ride.
