Welcome... don't see why it wouldn't work. I tour on a wide variety of bikes ranging from 3 speed 20" wheeled folders to fully equipped tour bikes. To me the tour is less about the equipment and more about the trip and what I get to see and do. Check into doing S24O's (Sub 24hour tours). You load up and ride out somewhere, spend the night and ride back the next day. I have done a few with 20 miles out and 45 miles back. My typically daily mileage is on the low side, but I can keep it up for days on end.
