I have had 100 mile days when touring but they were coming across the midwest with some serious tailwinds. I have also had 10 mile days when everything that could break did, the weather sucked and I was tired of riding.
When I set up a tour I figure on 40-50 mile days max and am pleased if I can exceed that.

I did a 5100 mile tour in 2004 and when I re-read my journal, the one thing that sticks out to me is that my best, most memorable days are less than 60 miles. I never had a sub-50 mile day that was bad, so I with you on the leisurely pace.
