Hello everyone! I am about to embark on a bike tour of the world to raise money for cancer research. I have now finalised my planning for the South East Asia part of the trip and would love to have some feedback from all of you: https://www.komoot.com/collection/3272708/-barris-cycles-around-the-world
The journey will be about 16,200 km which I intend to cover in about 9 months. I would like to do about 80-100km a day. Is this a realistic goal? I have done some bike tours in the past with 120km days, but my philosophy is to take twice as long but get there eventually while enjoying my ride.
Could you please let me know what you think? I also welcome any advice, recommendations, input and ideas on where to cycle! Thank you!!

Firstly, this trip looks amazing. Ive done a few of the sections you’ve mapped and you really are seeing the best parts of each country. I’m sure physically you will have no issue clocking up 100k a day, however I think you alluded to it in terms of philosophy, be open to taking rest days when your not feeling it, be a tourist occasionally, be open to spending days with people you meet, and try not to focus on meeting a daily distance. I might save your route plan as my retirement trip!
Looks fabulous. I highly recommend planning for 1 off day weekly and and a 4-7 day break every couple of months. It refreshes your enjoyment and makes logistics much easier.
