I should have also mentioned that unless your proposed tour is flat like Florida the weight will be a much bigger handicap. Most good places for touring have lots of hills or mountain passes. That is where the weight really gets you. Carrying 133 pounds in Florida is way different that carrying it over the Rockies or Appalachians.
Re: century ride in 3 days vs 1 = newbie mistake. Understood about the weight/hills. It'll just make the ride down the hill that much better. 113 pounds though--let's not make it worse than it is.
