From: Thailand..........currently Nakhon Ricefield, moving to the beach soon.

Bikes: inferior steel....alas....noodly aluminium assploded

too much clothing. if you really need something, you're always
within a days ride of a walmart or target.

leave the jeans and dress shirt. lightweight fastdry synthetic polo and khaki shorts.
looks nice enough....any church that would turn you away isn't exactly the kind of
place you'd want to pray in anyway.

only one pair running shorts (over the spandex i assume).
only two pair sox, two boxers, two shirts.

do you need a second jacket? rain jacket over shirt enough?
why legwarmers and long running pants and rainproof pants?
waterproof helmet cover? freebie shower cap from motel.
rain booties? will fill with water, rot your shoes. warm enough without?

skip the multitool, go with separate tools.
cassette removal tool to replace those rear spokes.
patch kit, extra chain quickie link.
misc spare bolts, couple zip ties.

leave electric shaver. disposable razor needs no batteries.


camelback? uncomfortable. carry water on the bike.

maps?

selfie stick? just....say....no.

small lightweight front platform rack. useful for water bottles.

taking a lock?

how about a small handlebar bag with map case?
quick release, carry your valuable when leaving the bike.
quick access to camera and snacks.
