I'd have reduced the civvies by taking convertable trousers where you can remove the legs to make shorts. I always carry a change of cycling gear to allow me to wash one set every night and change into clean gear the following day. You can't rely on having the first day's kit dry out overnight and you run the risk of getting saddle sores from dirty shorts if you don't wash them regularly. A thin merino jumper covers a lot of different temperature ranges washes and dries easily as well - might have allowed you to drop a t-shirt for example.

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?
