Changed wheels

Tonight, after a bit of consideration, I decided to change wheels on my bike. I have an REI Randonee that I am taking on a 350 or so mile trip with my daughter next week. I am not carrying anything except extra water, since it is a supported ride and I weigh in at 230. My road bike, which I bought 16 years ago is great, but feels too big for me and would not be comfortable for a 70 mile day. So, I took the wheels off,( Mavic Open Pro, 34 spoke, Ultegra hubs, and Gatorskin 25's), and put them on my Randonee after changing the cogset. All went together well and the bike lost about 3 - 4 pounds in wheels and tires. Hopefully, tomorrows test ride will be fine, but I was wondering if anyone sees any issues in what I did.
