Me and girlfriend did 33 miles/day average through the other hebrides which is relatively flat. I'd say it was weather which stopped us from doing more. She commutes by bike most days but rarely rides more than that. You'll most likely have the wind against you, which might reduce your mileage. Just make sure you eat a lot more than you normally do.

What's a realistic daily mileage for a first tour?
Leaving for Scotland on Saturday and given ourselves 2 weeks for jog-Edinburgh. Works out at around 25mi/day average. Both competent riders but first properly loaded trip, plus the Cairngorms are in the way.
