Touring covers so many areas, I mean do you want to do strictly pavement, off roading, or a combination? Do you get up early, sleep in? Any idea on how many hours a day in the saddle? What you plan to do when off the bike? Stop often, infrequently? Do you cook/ plan to cook, or eat out? Do you have manors? / curse a lot? have social skills? What about hygiene? I once was stuck behind a guy on a tour who did not believe in showering or washing his jersey (at least the four days I got stuck behind him) yish. Someone will likely chime in with more.
