Using a hybrid for MS 150?

I have a Diamondback hybrid bike that I love, and use for commuting and exercise (10 - 40 miles). I want to do the MS 150 ride this August, and I wonder if this bike will be OK on that trip. It will be my first such event. Any thoughts?

Why not? IF the bike is tuned up and properly maintained, you should have no problems.
