I agree with bobframe.

Self supported tours are the best. You get to decide how everything goes... route, mileage, how much to sleep in, scenic loops that deviate from your route plan... Sure, you haul your gear, but are you in a hurry? Do you have to keep up with the roadies out on a club ride? No, in fact they'll cheer you on as they pass like a flock of hopped up birds getting a late start on racing the winter south and you'll feel like you're standing still... but you'll feel good about it! You'll tell people that 100km can be a "long day" on a loaded touring bike. And depending on the terrain, you would be absolutely right.

Seriously. Money cannot buy a great touring experience. Just plan it. Load it. And ride it.
