+1 for you'll be fine
It would appear you are already doing both....... big time!I may be over thinking this but I'd rather do that than worry!!
I've never yet estimated the tour mileage before setting out,
You are going to have a ball!Not too bad, one day through the Yorkshire Moors up past Fylingdales with 6000ft of climb in 50miles is the worst.
Thanks all for replying, it seems I'm worrying too much about it in many ways. I'll try and do a week of commutes (40 miles per day) in the build up.
According to the route planner, I climb further the next day when I only do 25 mi!
I always do, and book my accommodation ahead - so I know I've somewhere for a shower and a bed! I'd hate to be coming to the end of a tiring day and then have to start looking for somewhere to stay!I've never yet estimated the tour mileage before setting out, I keep going until half of my allocated time runs out then turn for home, of course that might not suit everyone.
Are you heading towards Market Weighton and York?
If you are there is nothing too strenuous, even with a loaded touring bike.
Off topic I know, but that mild apprehension regarding a sleeping place or not, just adds to the thrill of the adventureI always do, and book my accommodation ahead - so I know I've somewhere for a shower and a bed!

Is there any correlation for how much further one can ride at say 12mph if they can a happily do 50miles at16-17mph?

I'm guessing 50 miles in a day isn't worrying too much. It's the 50 miles the next day and the day after that. I don't think I can give you a reassuring answer on that.
