I just had a look and we did 92k/day average on the ATM route. That was pretty comfortable with a fair bit of the usual walking, stopping for pics, stopping for food, laying in a tent coz it's pissing down, chilling at places that sold beer and working with limited daylight.
For a tour I wouldn't want to do much longer but if there was more daylight, then I guess we could push it out a bit to more like 120k/day so it becomes a 10 day ride, leaving some time in a 2 week block to get to/from.Could use the limited days I have left this year and add them to xmas and do a very cold version of it... hmm...

late-august/september - we rode c.60-70 miles per day. this was our first time touring on gravel and that was too many miles, especially with the surfaces and elevation. I would go for c.35-40 miles per day next time I think (especially with the gravel.) I did a couple of days north of glasgow too (solo) and rode c.90 miles on one of those - I'm still living with some of the effects of the shoulder injury I got from that ride three years later : /
