As richp says
It can't be a real tour if you are unloaded.

Usual average is 65 to 80 miles a day.
Best to date 135miles, dont think we will do that again.
70 seems a good allround figure that allows time to stop and enjoy.

Take away the rest day's and my last tour averaged out at 64 miles per day. Seems about right. 100km's a day was what I pretty much aimed for.
I aim to do 100km to 110km a day - I have just calculated my long term average and it would seem that I have failed - 99.9km/day for 42260km
Should not have started this stats thing 22tours at an average of 1920
probably obsess now at getting the oberall average over a 100 - who started this!

Anywhere from 30 miles up to about 60. I wouldn't normally do more than that on a tour.

Have done 100 mile days, even a 145 miler, but I got knackered after a week or so.
With gf don't manage more than 30 or 40. Only 20 if there is a good beach for sunbathing.

It doesn't matter whether you do 10 or 100 miles in a day. It's the fact that you are out there touring and enjoying yourself that matters.
It very much depends on why you want to go touring on a bike. Some do like the physical challenge of long days in the saddle others like to meander and take in the sights. Do the mileage that you feel comfortable with and remember that if it feels like a slog then perhaps you are doing too many miles in a day, slow down and enjoy, after all it is supposed to be a holiday isn't it

Under 60 miles and I am not on the bike for long enough in the day.
Over 100 miles and I would lack the stamina over a long period.
I aim for 80 miles and sometimes end up having to do a bit more.

I just worked mine out, ignoring really short days or rest days. 79.9km, so give or take 50 miles, all laden, based upon 50 days of touring. I tend to do more when with my usual cycling buddy, and less when with Ms JC who is not so
keen on monster miles....
I am off to France in May for a week and think it will be a bit over 100km a day
