Thanks. We are planning to keep going. The missus will increase her speed, strength and comfort (both physical and also mental by increasing her control and balance and capability) and I'm wanting to increase my speed and strength as well. We want to do it again next year even more comfortably.

I will probably end up going a bit smaller for both of us, but I don't know if I'll go as small as 28. We'll see. They say that the "narrower is faster" thing has been scientifically proven to not be the case. Yes, over perfectly smooth surfaces, narrow hard tires are fastest, but over rough surfaces, wider tires running at lower pressures are actually faster.

Sounds like fun. I'm not sure if I'm up to that yet, but I will be. I figure over reasonably flat-ish ground, I should be in the 16-18mph range at least for 30-50 miles. I think with a little work, I could be a 20+ guy.
