I like an topeak alien tool this has allens, spike wrenches, tire irons and a chain tool. For a ride that is 200 miles long without being near a bike shop, I wouldn't expect anything to happen but that's when Murphy's Law takes effect.

I would also take a fiber spoke for emergency spoke repairs
tube
pump
4" crescent wrench
patch kit
tire boot

Just make sure everything is in good working order then put a couple of hundred miles on the bike before the tour to shake out any problems.

On my last four tours I only had a couple of flats.
