Hi Chinggis,
I would say that a reasonable speed to maintain would be about 50km / hour.
It will be quite tiring, and the going will be heavy in places.
I would say a 3 hour ride before lunch break, then a 3 hour ride after lunch break.
If you can get 6 hours riding in, then I say you would be around 250 km to 300 km a day.
Don't overexpect to do huge distances, any thing more than 250 km a day is a bonus. I would be quite happy if I could maintain 50km per hour.
On a recent trip down the full length of Vietnam, we were lucky to do 200 km a day,
250 km or even 300 km is a big distance in Mongolia, believe me.
Vette
