Over the years, I've met lots of people on tour who are on old MTBs, racing bikes with P-clamped on racks, & crappy luggage who are having the time of their lives. The common thread is a sense of adventure. They just used what they had on hand & made it up as they went along. Start with an S24O & work up to a few days, maybe in a loop from your home out'n'back thru an area you are familiar with. Just riding your bike with a bunch of stuff & sleeping somewhere other than home is an adventure in itself.
