A lot will depend upon road conditions. Your weight is low enough that you shouldn't have any problems if you do the right pre-ride stuff. A good preventative measure would be to run larger tires. My road bike (Trek 2100) with Bontrager Race wheels will (just) handle 28s. The larger tires will help alleviate some of the pounding to the wheels. Also, make sure your inflation is where it should be, and check wheel truing and spoke tension before your big adventure. Have fun!!!
