I can't speak to "average," but for a 3-4 day trip, I typically roll out of the house with 50-55 lbs.
My biggest weight splurges are my coffee setup (I'm a bit of a snob in that area). I carry a grinder, filters a filter cone, scoop and several pounds of coffee - for my spring group tour, enough for a half dozen guys for 4 days. All this probably accounts for 10% of my weight. Other splurge is my camp chair. It has not provided the value I wanted, as I've always found myself in places with ample picnic table seating. But I was told early in my touring adventures that it's worth having a chair around after a good long day on the saddle. The chair gets one last chance this spring. :-) It, too, accounts for about 10%. Everything else is a little heavier than it would be were I hiking. I figure it's worth taking advantage of the fact that I'm on wheels rather than feet.
