A CX bike is designed with sturdier tubing and therefore is better suited to carrying a load. Neither are ideal for touring but a CX bike is far better than a road racing bike.

Don't take my word for, go post over in the Touring forum about the possibility of touring on an OCR2 and see what they say. Most people will tell you that you'd be better off with another bike or a trailer, don't expect to carry anything more than 20 lbs. or so. In other words, good for small tours, far less than ideal:
