That's what I recommend. I like to enjoy my trips, not suffer, and I like to sit around the campground and relax, so I like to get there before the day is completely gone. Others might have very different advice. Opinions are like noses.
+1. I always try to enjoy the trip rather than prove anything. I plan days averaging between 50-70 miles per day, I plan to ride 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon and whatever I feel like after making camp. Sometimes I will go farther than 70 miles, but I don't plan on it.
