As your priority will be to ensure the back doesn't bottom out (as opposed to getting razor sharp cornering!), you'll be wanting to harden up the back, so for your weights I'd set rear preload and comp damping to the max, and reduce the rebound damping to min (to give the suspension the best chance of recovering quickly after a bump), then see how it feels. If it's totally solid, slacken off preload and comp damping a bit. The front I'd not play with, other than possibly just cranking up the preload a tad if, once the rear is set, when you both sit on it , the front nosedives.

Next weekend I'm off to an event with my bike club in Hay on Wye. It's the
one weekend of the year my better half comes with me. We'll come back with
panniers loaded with cheap books from the second hand stores, so I will need
to crank the rear preload up. Given I'm a big lad, 18st/250lb/110kg, and Mrs
E is - errm - not tiny (nor huge!) and we'll have some heavy luggage, do I
just crank it to the max or is there some science behind how many turns to
add?
TIA,
