Good point, perhaps this should have been in the short touring section. However, we were with a group and were going out to eat in restaurants in the evening, so the civvies were needed.

My trip is 3 1/2 weeks, so three sets of underwear and thin ls/tshirts, one pair trousers, light sandal shoes, boardshorts, down jacket, jungle bag, rain gear and only one set cycling gear. Plus tools n junk.
Not sure what I could have left at home. Stopping for three days means it's difficult to pack less civvies. Should have kept the drybag liner in the saddle bag though, and bought a backpack rain cover. Those are my two current regrets.
Anything you'd change?

Sounds like you carried quite a lot for 4 days.. did you really need 2 dry bags, a bar bag, a huge saddle bag and another climbers bag? Done 6/7 day rides where I've had a small frame bag + a saddle bag and that was plenty of stuff
