You forgot to add several things: if needed, a mini travel CPAP machine, a seat mounted motion alarm along with a Skunklock and some Hexlox (on seat, disc brake mounts and front wheel) so that going to the bathroom in town doesn't result in a stolen bike or bike part (make sure to take your bag inside with you), first aid kit, tire pump AND CO2 stuff, a great repair kit (with tools to make the most common repairs very possible like chain, tire, hanger replacement, zip ties, tire sealant, tire valve, etc.), sink stopper with Campsuds soap (to clean your clothing so to avoid saddle sore infection/injury, multi-charger for phone, GPS, lights, and baby wipes, a Smart Phone and GPS, pepper spray, keys for the locks, use a two for one pants (the kind that zips the bottom part off so that you have a pair of shorts AND pants in one article), and, well, that should be enough (though I have more).
