That is a pity about the Bris/GC - generally it's quite a good time of year to have it because it isn't too hot. If they reschedule in the next few months you could get a stinker of a day! You'll find riding in a pack adds on a few km/h compared to what you normally do. From memory there was a steep hill somewhere about 70km in but generally it's pretty flat.
