I'm 5'8", and four of the five guys were shorter than I am. I'm guessing the short guys were in the 150 pound range. We started out the ride as a loaded tour, but three weeks in, there was a revolt because the majority of us thought the ride was just too hard. So Adventure Cycling ended up sending a van and driver to carry our gear. So three of the guys were then riding unloaded touring bikes-- and I'm pretty sure they had their tires at a high pressure. I decided to keep on carrying my gear for all but three of the days, for no particular good reason, and I also ran my tires at a lower pressure because I prefer it.
