For that distance, wear your full kit on your racing bike. Might save you an hour a day.
Yes, and for that bike no rack no fenders - it's nice to keep the road bike uncluttered. If you don't mind a backpack, then no problem but I personally have tied the bag down on the drop bars, or in the front triangle as a frame bag.
