It could easily make the trip. But you will do yourself a favor if you get some street slick tires for the ride. I run Continental Contact Pro's on my MTB. I did a 60 mile + ride on mine once. I rode 30 mile out to the sag stop for the Big Dam Bridge 100, helped out for the duration, then rode home. The ironic thing was that the people on the route I was helping were only riding 50 miles.
