I don't really train before touring. I cycle regularly, though not a lot or miles daily. About 10, maybe, though on a big ute bike with 2 kids and school stuff, so that might equate to more miles on a normal bike. I like to go on a couple of longer rides the week before, but more for my butt than anything. It would be nice to do more, but my time is not my own, and I can;t fit it in. When on tour, it usually takes me about 5 days for my legs to wear in and stop the morning aches and strain. I'm 45, BTW, but I've been cycling a long, long time.
