Yes, Ellicott City is hilly. Some times I feel bogged down on the hills around here. I am not a strong rider, that is why IH100 felt hilly to me. But I had a great time and seemed to get over the hills easily enough. I never felt bogged down, like riding at home. Nicely rolling in Indian Head!

Thanks for that one, Chris. I'm going to mount up the Nomads languishing in storage. I quit running them on my single because at lower pressure they really flopped during cornering and that was a bit disconcerting. I think at the higher pressures I'd be running on a tandem, they will do great

I have a Nitto Big Rear Rack. Purchased new from Rivendell, it has been on a 56cm Bombadil and a 58cm Atlantis. It precedes the newest revision with the secondary pannier rail. I'd call this the "large" frame size geometry, in that it expects the seatstays to be more vertical. I'd let it go

The Nitto Mt Campee R20 is a medium/large rear rack. Exemplary Nitto quality at a lower price ($123). It does not have double top rails like the Riv/Nitto rear racks, so it's harder to fit both panniers and a trunk.
