You have a pretty good camp kit laid out, I didn't notice any fire starting stuff, and water wise you seem to be a bit short, 2 bottles on a tour is nothing! So i'm guessing there is plenty of water along the way to fill the bottles up with. Personally, I know this is going to sound bad, but I wouldn't take a racing bike touring unless I was credit carding it. I actually read about a guy on a touring forum that broke his CF racing bike frame doing what you're going to be doing, the rear stay snapped off at the seat tube, he didn't say how much combine weight he was carrying but he was going the ultralight route so I assume close to your weight. Wish I had booked marked that discussion.

Anyway sounds like a fun trip, enjoy.
