Century Update:
I bailed at 62 miles rest stop because of 25 mph gusts and a route that took us down a busy road with no shoulder and a nasty metal guardrail. Honestly, they should have reversed the course and had us do that section FIRST, when it was quiet for both crosswinds and cars.
But I felt pretty good, and no contact point pain, numbness or back issues. As I sat around waiting for my wife to come get me, I heard a lot of the riders complaining about sore this and numb that. So definitely a comfy bike!
Averaged 14.2 miles per hour, which considering the winds was doing pretty good.
