I understand there are a lot of variables at play and it would be impossible to say it was going to cost "this" much, like a plane ticket. I am just trying to get an idea of a realistic budget for a week long tour. The places I stay will have a big influence and know that the cost of that will come down mostly to researching the area and finding deals on rooms or campgrounds. The part I am really curious about is food. Eating out is expensive anyway and adding a need for calories from cycling...

Would you mind sharing what your average daily costs were while out on a tour?
