Don't take a heavy lock. Just take a little cable lock, remember this isn't brick lane my friend.
Have a few recovery days, or days when you aren't touring (ie: just a little road ride to see something, or do a specific climb), that can be really fun to break up a touring trip.
Wear sensible clothes and wash your shorts every day. Two pairs is enough. You only need to carry breakfast with you on the bike all the time.. you can buy your lunch and evening meal when you have your lunch break, which saves you going shopping at night.
Most important of all, make sure you don't attack too early; but before everyone else.
