I’m lucky to live in a country where sleeping outside is easily possible, safe, and legal, and it’s always possible to hop on a train back if things don’t work out. I’m doing this on easy mode.
If that isn’t the case for you, either try to lodge with an aquaintance within cycling range, or look for a campsite in advance.
Even without much training, it’s easily possible to cover 100km / 60 miles in a day on flat ground, if your bike fits you. Cycling clothes also help a lot.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for Ontario, Canada, unless I wanted to go WAAAAAAY up North to extremly wild Crown Land (where the bears are).
This is probably the biggest barrier, because standard campsites charge as much as a hotel, even if you are camping without a large vehicle.

Yeah, 100km is very doable. I’ve been aiming for 200km+ lately, but even then, it sucks that these are out-and-back rides. Still, I come back wanting to ride more :)
