You might want to post this in "long distance cycling" rather than touring; this is the kind of thing long distance riders do all the time. But really, all you need is sufficient water and food, tools to repair flat tires etc., some basic toiletries, sunglasses, and the pain killer of choice (aceteminophen, ibuprofen, your call). If you're not used to 9 hours in the saddle, your neck will be pretty tired by the 100 mile mark, and will only get worse after that.
