Hope this works - if you are riding with the missus and she's either slower or stronger than you this is good fun (so long as you get on which we do.......)

Takes a while to get used to. We've just about mastered junctions with her staying clipped in and trusting me not to drop her. Did the Coast to Coast in May, a week long tour around the country (with panniers and staying in airbnbs and friends) in June and the 200 mile round Norfolk sportive in July. Haven't yet taken it to bits but it goes in two suitcases so planning a trip to Majorca with it in November............
