going round the UK............

Why make it difficult?

I am a pottery type tourer. There is too much to see or do and I want time to see and do

If I gancy stopping at a Church with an interesting architecture and spend an hour looking for "green men" then I can without worrying about racing along to catch up with my schedule.

Equally if I find a road I like - why not see where it goes to?

Keep the milage down to something you are comfortable with and allows some rambling.

This is day 109 and I'm just over 3,800 miles into this years tour.
I tend to cycle 4 days and then take one day off.
My knees really limit me to sub 50 mile days/ 250 mile weeks, otherwise they start to hurt to much.
So doing a tour of that distance a day is possible.
I start by planning the first 20 days or so, at around 30 miles a day, then as I get fitter just slowly up the mileage to my max limit.
The one trouble you can have with only doing 30-40 mile days, is finding campsites at around that distance apart if your not in a high touristy area.

Go for it ...............

Though I have always cycled, the most distance I´ve ever done was about 50 miles,which I found a bit much .

Next is................will I improve at age 60 if I stick at it, and do more distance, or will I just get fed up with it?

The website will give you very good help.
I did a similar ride last year at 56. Trained a bit, made sure I was mentally fit (if you can be as you are thinking something this stupid) and then just got on with it.
Days 3-5 are most likely to be the worst as you are not physically adapted to doing it day in day out.

Just keep on eating and stick to it.

100 miles is not a lot per day.

I rode a Trek 2200 road racer.
