Honestly, if you're a light rider the CC is way overbuilt for what you want to do with it. I have a cross check I plan to do fully loaded touring with, but I tip the scales between 150-155 and less in the spring and summer.

If you're talking strictly brevet's on decent pavement and light touring, a road bike will be great as long as it can fit full fenders (eyelets front and rear).

Now if you want to hit some fire trails and do some extended tours with the same bike, than the cross check is your best bet.

It doesn't look like the felt can take fenders, so as a courtesy to other riders, your back and your feet I would avoid it and pick something that does.
