Take both bikes. Is it your daughter who goes to SLO? Drop the Gan with her and have her meet you at the Madonna Inn, that's just past halfway, then change bikes. Spread the pain over your body! The stuff that hurts on the Roubaix will get a break and the stuff that hurts on the Gan has almost 100 miles to start hurting!
