And if it makes a difference, I may be able to stretch the days to 8, and according to google maps my intended route is 530 miles, which equates to about 65 miles per day instead of the 100.
That brings it into the range of much more doable. My advice would be to not try to push too hard out of the gate. Do easier days to start and build as you go. Too many riders do really long mileage the first days and wind up beat and in need of a rest day before they are in the groove.
