Firstly there are my riding clothes which is the mainstay of my traveling wardrobe. This would include 2 or 3 pair of riding shorts,jerseys, and socks. Riding gloves. (fingerless and full fingered for those cold rides). Leg and arm warmers. Maybe even a pair of tights for those cold rides too. Descente beanie. Burley rain jacket. MEC rain pants. MEC rain booties. Columbia fleece vest (for both on and off bike).
MEC "Espresso" glasses with smoke, clear and rose coloured lenses.
Then the off bike clothes... which will be, 1 pair of pants, socks, and a shirt, shorts and a hat. A bathing suit. I've also got a pair of MEC "River" pants in my handlebar bag which I can jump into when I'm at a prolonged stop to stay warm or just decent as some people are a bit freaked out by a guy in cycling clothes. Kind of like Invaders from Space. Take me to your leader.
Other Stuff would be things like cleaning supplies for camp and myself,straps and cords, a toiletry bag with shaving stuff, sunscreen, ibuprofen, toothpaste and brush etc. MEC 9L. roll top stuff sack for food. Smartphone and a novel. 15 feet of cord for tying the food bag high up a tree or a clothesline. Clothes pegs.
