I like my dynamo even though I probably could've got away without it given the time I spent in hotels tending to wounds.
I'm not sure how much more efficient I could get at packing. There's definitely a couple of items I'd leave behind next time but I used almost everything I took at some stage so I was pretty happy about it.
One thing I want to eliminate is the framebag rub on my knees with a skinnier framebag and maybe use a smaller saddle pack if I can get away with it. Not sure how TABR packing will differ from TCR packing though - need to think about that. 300g less useless currency at least :)

Yes, I keep thinking of all the time I could have saved by doing things differently. Mostly by staying on the main road, not doing some clever looking short cut down a road that might turn out not to exist.
And I'd get more efficient at packing.
Also a dynamo might even save time by reducing the need to look for batteries and faff around with charging.
