Brutal 17 mph cross wind with 30+ mph gusts the entire ride.
Super comfy bike up until 150ish miles and then the neck and back got a bit sore as well as my left foot. Legs feel good the day after and the pace was decent for a rookie only riding for 2 years. I had a strong friend group to help with pulling and we managed to beat the storm! Great ride if you ever get the chance to do it. Avoid the 97° heat and wind though.
