My previous answer above was time during the day.

Regarding days riding and days not riding, my last tour, in chronological order, oldest first:
4 days riding,
1 day sitting out a wind storm,
1 day riding,
1 day sitting out a wind storm,
6 days riding,
1 day sitting out a heavy downpour (campground had a laundromat, did laundry),
1 day stuck with high winds,
6 days riding (last two days riding in rain),
2 days at a hostel sightseeing (in rain),
3 days riding (first of three in rain),
3 days sightseeing,
3 days riding

If you get bored easily, you might have ridden on some of the rainy days when I chose to stay in campsite, and one of the windy days where I did not travel, it would have been possible to get some distance if you really wanted to pedal into a strong headwind.





Before I retired, no vacations were longer than a week, but now I am retired and have the time to sit out days that would be miserable riding. And that means that I can schedule trips that are long enough to have flexibility on what to do on most days.
