Yeah, the Seagull might be flat, but we make up for it with WIND. Lots of wind. Wind that does not stop. At least you can crest a hill and it's over. Not so with the wind.

And what ny biker said is true: 4. If there's a nor'easter that day, just stay home. 5-6-7-8 hours of riding in the rain AND WIND is just not worth it no matter how much you paid to participate in a ride with 6,000 of your closest friends.
