You already know all the possible variables, so all I can do to help you is to say that I'm good for about 50 miles a day of solo, loaded touring on flat terrain with no wind factor. More than that, and I'd be looking for about a 20% decrease in mileage the next day for each 5 miles over 50. If I did 60 miles, next day might be about 40.
I have experienced the motivation factor when touring with others. More miles and less fatigue. Interesting.
BTW, I'm 68 so don't recover nearly as quickly as I could have 20 years ago. Besides, I'm in no hurry.
Hope this helps.
