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.
