I think I remember someone else on this board training to do the SeaGull...check out the Team in Training posts, as I responded to her there, I think.
At any rate, if you're training for it, just train for the distance; no need to train for any hills as it's flat, flat, flat. There was rain and wind when I rode it a couple of years ago and it's very popular, so hone your group riding skills (in other words, ride predictably and safely, using voice and hand signals and hope that others do too!) and enjoy the ride, rest stops and entire experience!
