I did 7154 km in 29 days but some days would have been longer than 13.5 hours. Worst day was 350 km with around 8,000m climbing.

I did 200km in about 8 hours, 200 in 8 hours, and 400km in 15 hours in preparation for 2015 PBP which was 1218 km in 54 hours, so, I guess that would be 200km x 6 with each being 9 hours.

When I was young, I toured a lot and in normal terrain would do 150-220 km per day, every day. For instance, I did the North and South Island in NZ with everyday over 100 miles except the day I went over the Southern Alps, I had to hike thru washed out roads. My days while touring were never more than 12 hours and typically 10 hours riding.

I did the Route Des Grand Alps in 4 days starting on the Mediterranean going to Geneva, I think the road was D902 IRRC. First day over the Bonette Pass and Col du Var. The next day was hard over Izoard, Galibier, Lauretete and maybe another....I remember 4 big cols. The next two days were easy. Was around 450 miles including a detour to a mineral lake for a swim. I started at sunrise and ended always well before sunset or around 12 hours. There were no cycle computers back then.

As you can see, I don't have data to the extent that you would like to see. If you have a specific question, please let me know
