Im going on holidays, i'll stay there 4/5 days and then figure out how to come back, either by car with my dad or by bike in 1 or 2 days

I have stock wheels that are not aero, but i'll have a big saddle bag to bring stuff with me and that's gonna provide a good surface for the crosswind to annoy me. I'm also quite tall, T58 bike and quite skinny
