I'll be going on my first tour in July and was wondering, with a fully loaded bike, how many miles do you average per hour?
How about miles per day?
How many hours per day?
I'm just wondering what I should expect from myself so I can plan my trip in a realistic fashion. I've got a "go at your own pace" mentality, but I would still like a general idea. I know now that I won't be in the best shape possible. I am unable to go on any over nights between now and then--instead, I'm hiking as much as I can and riding on an inner city bike trail (insert yawn) about 15 hours a week.
Some journal entries I see indicate that some bike as much as 110-115 miles per day. This is impressive, from my stand point. While I'm sure I'll will become stronger as time goes by, I'm setting the bar low. I'm figuring I will start out with a goal of 50 miles per day for the first couple of weeks.
Personal experience, advice or comments would be appreciated.
