That's it. Plus the stove of my choice for the tour intended. Might be white gas or cannister.
Mine is pretty similar, except that I also bring the small pot and lid (which works as a frying pan) that come with the
Mini Trangia alcohol stove.
I've never used it on a bike, but it served me well for most of the Appalachian Trail. Denatured alcohol is WAY easier to deal with than petroleum-based fuels like white gas, and the stove weighs close to nothing (but allows you more control of the temperature than a homemade beer-can alcohol stove).
