Here are a some shots of my Bob Jackson World Tour loaded for my week-long trip on the GAP-C&O Canal trails from Pittsburgh to Washington DC last summer. We stayed in hotels/inns along the way so had no need for front panniers.
Bonus shot of my new Soma Saga, "loaded" for commuting. This will be my go-to bike for loaded tours now as I found that the BJ was a little wobbly when fully loaded, although it's fine for light to moderate loads.

I found my touring-specific Raleigh Port Townsend to be wobbly with the exact two-pannier weight you have on my back rack. When I moved those panniers to the front rack, the wobbling vanished.

This is the setup I used to ride from South Carolina to Ohio. Trek 4300 MTB with a 30$ walmart hiking pack. Think I might get a rack for my next long trip.

Bought it february 2014, and took it to a test drive in April from Chisinau, Moldova to Istanbul, Turkey! 1100 kilometers of pure enjoyment.

Just just goes to show you don't need expensive kit to get on a tour! My only short tour was done hauling a kiddie trailer down the C&O canal....my buddy was on a VERY entry level trek mtb. Awesome tour and keep up the adventure.

Miles to Go
My first tour Ventura to San Diego.
Good views, good weather. i don't think I will plan on attempting to camp along the LA coast again. Too congested for that.

July, 2014. My first try at touring - learned a lot, and got hooked at the same time.

My Specialized Tricross modified for touring
Here's my Tricross sitting in Frostburg, MD at the top of the Mountain on an overnight tour of the C&O Canal trail.
