First Tour on New Nashbar build

Headed out this weekend for my first tour on the new build. Four day/three night south Florida meet up of fellow tourist at a regional park. Plan on staying at a commercial campground in Arcadia the first night with a wilderness area. 2nd night @ the meet up, and the last night stealth camping somewhere on state road 72 in the Myakka state Park area. Took a short 25mile test ride today and was surprised how well bike handled and how smooth the ride was for an aluminium bike. Quite frankly the ride was smoother than my carbon road bike which I assume is a result of the load and possibly the longer wheel base?. In any case the weather forecast is great so should be a great four days.
