I am considering the Caledonia myself right now but availability is a bit of an issue. My next long ride will be 600km and then a 1200km after that. The geometry is nearly identical to my Cervelo S3 except longer chainstays and less headtube angle. So, a bit longer and a touch more trail for stability. Room for 32 mm tires and hardware for fenders. I do not know the layup of the carbon but assume very similar to me S3. It was designed for Paris Roubaix. What is comfortable for me might not be for you. I consider 50 miles to be a short ride. YMMV
