Touring Test Ride-Prairie Path(B/E/W/B)

First fully loaded test ride of the season. Steve on the Moots and me on the Stratus. The ride was from Batavia to Elgin on the Fox River Trail, from Elgin to Wheaton, Wheaton back to Batavia on the Prairie Path. Total around 40 miles on a combo of pavement and crushed limestone.

For the Stratus, things went well, new tires were champ and rack system was ok, rider-well he needs to train harder.
But back to racks, Steve had a major SNAFU just past South Elgin, the 2 screws holding the rack to the frame came loose. This is why you test ride fully loaded.
