This is what I would take on a 4 day credit card tour :
1 jersey
2 pairs of cycling shorts (Wearing one carry one!)
2 pairs of underwear
4 pairs of riding socks
2 pairs of normal socks
2 t-shirts
1 good t-shirt + 1 pair of trousers (only needed if mingling with locals at night)
1 pair of converse or vans (or some flatish trainers) for when not riding.
Tools
A decent pump
Spare tubes
Lights
Map + GPS
Rain jacket
Packable Fleece
I pair of water proof leggings, or warmers are enough if you know its fairly dry weather.
Battery Pack
Spare Phone + Local SIM
Chamois Cream sachets
First Aid Kit
Since you are staying in hotels/bb you can wash cloths at night in time for the next day, but its good to alternate so if something is still wet it will dry out during the next day.
No food - buy it there! No cooking stuff, tents, matt or sleeping bag.
