Having toured extensively both with expedition loads and credit-card tour loads, I’ll add one thing that Steve touched on up above.
It may add weight, but go for a touring gear set up. 3x9. Something like a 46-36-26 for credit card tours and 44-32-22 for expedition tours, with an 11-34 cassette. You want a low-low gear of about 20 gear inches. I used to blame the weight, or my legs, but correct gearing made a big difference. The Erie Canal Bike Trail is a nice ride.
