What I'll probably do if I go is to do the bulk of the ride to get the climbing and the scenery, but SAG out at the last rest stop at 75 miles to avoid the flat but oh-so-windy and boring grind back into town.
No way I would ever start a ride planning to sag in. Park your own car there ahead of time if you must. Better to battle the wind with the rest of the riders and Rotarians. SAGs are for injuries and major mechanicals, not wind weenies.
