I'm looking for a commute bike that I'm hoping will double as an overnight touring bike occasionally. We have some great destinations that are around 40-60 miles away and would make romantic weekend getaways for DH and myself. But as DH is not really a cyclist, I'll be carrying everything. I was considering the Surly Cross Check - I've been coveting one for a long time - but one of my VP's tours and he said I should get the Long Haul instead. Should I or can I use the Cross Check to do what I want?
