As already said, wind is your enemy down there. I've done two 50s and been very lucky both times in that it was pretty calm, but I rode a sportive about 6 years ago and the wind was blowing so hard you were chewing the bars doing about 12mph.
The event does always seem to get a lot of good praise, so why not give it a go?
