I've toured extensively on a Trek 7.3FX, which is pretty much the same bike, so you'll be fine. Couple of changes that I made, that you might want to think about. I didn't find the gearing quite low enough for me in the mountains, so I went to a 22-34-44 set up. However, I only have a 12-30 on the back. I also put butterfly bars on, as I didn't like the flat bars on long days. Finally, I switched the brake calipers out for something with a little more stopping power. Otherwise, the bike is stock and I'm really happy with it.
