The following is a 8 week no cooking tour I am planning todo in Japan. Its also in the warmer months, so no cold weather gear is required, and I wont bother to take rain gear, because if your wet but the wethers still hot who cares about keeping dry.

If you really want to carry less gear and you are going with some one do what I do, and organise with the other person not to take doubles of things. When I tour with some one since I am 9 times out of 10 the stronger rider, I tell the other person not to bother carrying a pump, tyre levers, multi tool, a bike lock(since one bike lock is normally long enough for 2 bikes), chain lube and rag, or a GPS/navigation.
