Howdy - I'm an experienced at road touring and mountain biking, but not bikepacking. I've put together a kit for my mountain bike and want to try it out this summer.
For those of you who are experienced at bikepacking, I was wondering what would be a reasonable expectation for daily mileage when on single track. I'd expect mileage would depend on the condition of the trail, but I want to get an idea of how far I can expect to get in a day. I realize it will be less than on pavement or dirt roads, but I have no idea of what a reasonable distance would be.
Background -
I ride an average of 80 miles per day when touring on paved roads and have ridden as far as 167 miles in a day. My longest paved ride last summer was 115 miles.
When I mountain bike on single track, I typically ride 15-40 miles with about 1 to 3 hrs in the saddle.
Thanks.
