I would suggest cutting down your stay at Satara and staying the nights at Mahabaleshwar instead as I cant think of anything that you as a tourist could see or do at Satara, its a lousy little town and I am not going to praise the hospitality of local residents either. Apart from that everything looks good to me. Road conditions are pretty decent and it would be ok to maintain an average of 65-70Km/hr all through out the journey.
