For me, with a fully-loaded (w/ camping gear) bike 60 miles (100km) is a comfortable day.
Having said that, you shouldn't set arbitrary distance measurements; there's a lot more to cycle touring than that. What is the terrain like? Here in British Columbia, there's not much flat ground and a lot more very steep, mountainous countryside. So touring, or any kind of cycling itinerary here, is planned accordingly.
You should also be ready to modify plans for places/events where you'd like to spend more time. After all, that's the best part of exploring by bike -- to be open to happenstance.
