I just ride my bike. I don't particularly train for a tour but I might up my daily mileage to get my butt in shape for longer hours on the saddle. If I'm going to go on a longish tour I'll load the bike up with some weight as I ride prior to starting the tour. I like to know how the bike handles before starting on the tour and it also gives me time to do a couple of shakedown rides. Anything that feels/looks like it might be a problem usually comes to light during those loaded shakedown rides.
Cheers
