^^ This.
If you have been riding road bikes for awhile, you can probably figure it out for yourself.
However, if you have not been riding, or your version of "comfort" is an upright beach cruiser on the boardwalk, it may take some time to get comfortable on a properly fitted road bike.
To the OP, I don't see why you couldn't take the bike in question on your trip.
Oh yeah, you can say ass.
