Unless you are quite short, your seat is probably set too low for long distance riding - you may suffer from a lot of knee pain. Ask the bike store for fitting advice. Generally the leg should be almost straight when the pedal is at the lowest point. You may like the seat to be lower at home for jumps or whatever, but for touring it should be set higher. You might even need a new longer seat post.
If it is already set at the right height, sorry, my bad!
