Happy Cross-check owner here. My main steed is my Orbea these days but for touring and rainy days I definately use the cross-check. I have racks and fenders on mine and its steel so the ride is cushy. You can also put fat tires on it. I've run it with skinny 23's and wider 28's. A good reliable bike for the money.

I've often thought my Surly Pacer road bike would be a perfect bike for a coast-to-coast supported (or credit card) tour. I've gone off curbs and on gravel roads with it with no problems. It's a tough bike.
If you want to carry all your stuff a Cross Check or LHT would be great. If you are very short the CC does not go quite as small as the LHT or Pacer (check the geometries out).Specialized Ruby
