What is the skin made of?

There may be some sidewalks and MURPs but no significant unpaved segments, as I understand it.

In the event we get rained on, though, Serenity's fenders ("mudguards" to those of you who hail from the former British Empire) will be an asset although they're very close to the tires ("tyres", to the same subset of readers as above) making any buildup of crud somewhat problematic.

As I rode across some dried mud from flooded roads today, it occurred to me that if you are going to ride dirt paths (?), wider tires would be better for the job.

Give us lots of preamble to your trip, it’s going to be fun!

"Not that you asked my opinion, but I vote for the most comfortable bike. "

All votes count, or ought to. :)

They're about equally comfortable, and equally enjoyable to ride.

It'll be easier to carry my "good" camera (the faux-SLR LUMIX) in Serenity's handlebar bag, and I hope / plan / expect to take many photos.

I had to look up White Mountain Wilderness, to see if we went there in 2021, and didn't realize it. No. We were very close, at Ontonagon, but then we dropped down and rode the shore of Lake Gogebic.

I look forward to following along.

Not that you asked my opinion, but I vote for the most comfortable bike. If they are both comfortable, then I think you should take the go fast bike, since you have the SAG wagon, take advantage of it!

Sounds fun! I also plan to be heading that direction with some friends who invited me to go along driving from Dayton, OH to some unspecified to me BWCAW entry point for a week starting about mid Sep.

I have eyeballed those origami kayaks, but at 77, I probably would not use it enough to be worth having. I'm sure you will enjoy it up there!
