Wait and see if North Valley Rd is going to be on the route for day 1. That has some short, steep climbs and your daughter may not like them.
Also if they go up and over on Bethel Rd from hwy 99 which will take you to North Valley, only like 6% but longer. Hwy 99 has a shoulder, but the rest don't. If they cross the hwy in Hopewell and go up Webfoot, country rd. and no traffic there. Traffic would be low on 1st day, other then hwy 99 and that's easy with the shoulder. Don't know about the 2nd day. I think you would both enjoy the tandem for this ride.
