You should not be looking at race geometry frames. Get a steel touring bike like the Surly Long Haul Trucker. You don't need to go fast to cover 70 miles/day, but you do want to be comfortable and you want a minimum of mechanical problems with wheels, etc.

Get the bike well before the trip and ride it a bunch. You don't want to find out during the ride that your saddle isn't right for you.
