If I were you, I would take a very different approach to packing. Unless you are going to be spending a lot of time in cities and want to look 'normal' I would loose the jeans and cargo shorts, most of the t shirts too. If your going planing to wear the t-shirts while riding, then I might bring two or three tops, plus maybe one insulation layer, a rain shell, and something to make you look somewhat normal. If your going to wear the cycling shorts while riding (I kind of assume), then I might add the hiking pants for looking normal. By toque, I assume you don't mean the chef thing; a thick insulating hat is always nice to have.

If I were in your shoes, my list would be a little more like this
3 shirts (or whatever you plan on cycling in)
~ 2 pairs boxers (one pair to sleep in, and one for use in town if you want to pass)
1 insulating garment, sweater, fleece jacket or something
1 quick dry pants
2 cycling shorts
1 beanie
1 shirt a normal non-tourist might wear
