When I was in BC, it was my very first tour and I averaged around 80 miles per day for two weeks, riding by myself. When I did the Pacific Coast, I rode with lots of other people, drank a lot, and rode about 60 miles per day for a month. When I crossed the U.S. the first time, I was on my own, and trying to get some place before winter, so I averaged just under 100 miles a day for 33 days. That was pretty much just riding at a steady pace from sun up to sun down. When I crossed the U.S. again on a supported tour, we averaged about 70 miles a day for two months, but usually finished that mileage before noon. The longest touring ride I ever did was 160 miles to go see some riders in Portland for the weekend.
