Three of us are going to do the trail in mid May. We are planning on doing the whole thing in three days, but we don't know if we want to go east to west or west to east. Is the wind a issue? I ride the trail a bit around JC and it can be very windy heading west because the trail is in the flood plain and open to the wind. Also I am riding a older cheaper mountain bike are there any suggestions for modifications such as saddles (comfortable style), setback post, different tires, etc.
