What kind of daily mileage are you doing now? Have you tried riding >75 miles fully loaded for a couple of days or for a week?
I would think that for a first tour, planning 50 per day would be better, and then each day you make it over that, is a bonus.
I would plan for one day off (or 2 half days off) per week.
Have your cell phone where you can immediately use it. Bullies and creeps run pretty fast as soon as you pull the cell phone out.
