Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to the forums and touring in general. I'm wondering what your opinion is on what type of bike to use for a two day biking trip. I have two bikes, one is a cannondale quick hybrid and the other is a scott contessa speedster 15. My plan is to bike roughly 60+ miles each day and camp overnight. The road there is a pretty well known bike route, so it should be a smooth ride.

I have about 25-30 pounds of gear I plan to bring with me stored in panniers on a rear rack/in a back pack. I've done long distances on my road bike but not with gear and I'm worried that the extra weight might cause some damage (flats mostly).

On the other hand, taking my hybrid seems inefficient for the distance I want to bike.

What are your thoughts? Should I load up the road bike or hybrid? What are your tips for new overnight biker?
