A proper racing bike may not be suitable as it will not carry panniers so a hybrid may be better. Also, race bikes tend to be very solid and firm, not solid as in heavy but as in no flexibility so on long distance they will inevitably be uncomfortable especially if you are road biking. They are designed really to be doing long distances usually as quick as possible where comfort is not always the priority while still being ride-able for long periods. I know I've not really helped in the end choice but hopefully helped a little. Also, make sure you get your bike in good time so adjustments can be made as bikes can take a good month or two to settle in and for you to get all the settings right. Seat height, seat angle, handlebar height etc
