Train? Nope, but I'd been riding most days for years and I was young..
in the 50's done boy scouts
built up my own bike , changing components (a 3 cubed 3 speed with 27)

then post HS, late 60's; Navy, Got mechanics down solid so Any repairs , I figured it out..

Internet still decades in the future back then..

Tour is just a series of day rides , you just go on, rather than return home at night..

I next had to get a grasp of going with my Bike to Europe, on 747's,
boxing and re assembling.. Pre Euro, so Currency changing and all that.
