This will help a lot! But just riding a lot will toughen up your rear as well. It always seemed like my rear was never tough enough no matter how much riding or how much padding I had! LOL!

E-bikes and coulee country are a marriage made in heaven! Flat ground is the exception, not the rule.

Thanks for posting... You picked a beautiful time of year for year.
Curious at to your nightly arrangements... any tent camping (I see a state park)? B&Bs?
Did you need to resupply daily or every couple of days?

3 nights in tent and 3 in hotel. I had food along with me but ate in restaurants and gas stations.
I used to ride 2500 miles a year - mostly on the road but some on rails-to-trails. Always on a carbon fiber mechanical bike. Now I don't have the courage to ride on the road so it's rails-to-trails. Rode 313 miles in October but only about half that in November since it was hunting season. Weather's been so bad around here lately that I'd trash my bike with trail grit so December was pretty much a wash. Man I HATE being off the bike. Did you have any problems with unreasonable car drivers? Very nice pix btw.
You sound like a knowledgeable ebike guy Len. What made you go with a Gazelle?

Good on ya Len. Good to see you like e-bikes.
You can tell Len is a photographer at heart and knows his way around a camera.. Even my avatar was taken by Len on our GC backpack.
