-I'm 100lbs
-bike 2004 Trek 4500 with Michelin City Trekking Bike Tires (Recommended pressure (psi) 36 - 87 psi)
- ~15lbs of stuff on the rear rack.
- 2 to 5 per week- 10 mile round trips

I need help determining how much pressure I should to inflate to. Should it be close to the minimum recommend pressure?
 
"Should it be close to the minimum recommend pressure?"

NOPE. Exactly the opposite. Inflate to at or close to the maximum recommended psi. Never go above that point. Yes...it will ride a little stiffer. It will also roll more efficiently. I would recommend at least 60 psi.
