Meput:
Nope, no surprises.  Lynn and I averaged about 15 on our metric 2 years ago; and that actually wound up being 78 miles including a few miles of being lost and an unexpected much slower 6 miles back to the hotel at the end of the day.  And I was very glad that one of the rest stops had Chamois Butter available -- that was a new experience at the time. (and Lynn WAS noticing the length of time I liked staying in the rest stops)

I was more concerned that you and Living Proof were going to set a pace of 18-20 mph and finish in 5 hours.  I can ride 20 mph for a 2-3 mile section on a shorter ride, but wouldn't on a long ride.  15-17 with Mike breaking the wind would be alright.

7 hours is still a long time in the saddle, and I'm sure there are guys that ride that in 4-5 hours (especially on such flat ground).  At least we know it will be cool.
