Just completed my first tour! 50 miles out and back

I was posting here yesterday complaining about sore legs at mile 35 of day 1. Someone called me a wuss and that's honestly exactly what I needed. Pretty sure I was sore because I hadn't drank enough water yet. But I made it to my destination. And on day two I made it back to my starting location, even shaved off half an hour of riding time despite sore legs!

Lessons learned: Hills are physically hard, the flat bike path is mentally hard. Need more weight on the front to prevent wobble. Need smaller chainrings.

The setup:
1985 Fuji Del Rey, 700c conversion
37-622 Continental Ride Tour
14-34t 5-speed freewheel
52/42 chainrings (TOO BIG!)
Down tube shifters
Ortlieb Back Roller City
A couple of hand me downs: tent, sleeping bag, handlebar bag
