Question for the hive mind on distances. I've not done any touring before and I'm looking at a multi-day ride along canals in France. Most of the itineraries I've seen are clearly aimed at bike hire / non-cyclists -i.e.: 21 km a day. They are great for planning stopping points but otherwise useless.
For a flat terrain and sedate pace what should I plan for each leg? ~50km a day? 70km? I don't want to undershoot and end up arriving at booked accommodation at 2pm everyday. Equally, I don't want to skip past stuff because I have too much distance to travel. Thoughts?
