BUS4MS Gear List

I am still putting together a gear list for this summers cross country ride. There are a few things that are making this challenging for me. The first is that I have never done a supported ride before, so I am finding it hard to get out of my mindset and actually let myself bring a few comforts along. That being said, I also want to pack as light as possible because I might want to do some solo (or not) self supported touring once we reach Seattle. As a result I need to have my racks and panniers with me to use when I lose the van/trailer support. This is the gear list I am working with (mostly just copied from my last trip) and it will be evolving as the May 25th deadline is quickly approaching.

BIKE 
52cm SURLY LHT - stock build (replaced stock seat with a Brooks B17
Also replaced the chain, brake pads, tubes, and tires from my last trip
Additions: Shimano SPD pedals, fenders, 2 water bottle cages, 2 water bottles
Racks: Tubus Tara (front) and Tubus Cargo (rear) racks
Storage: Ortlieb Front and Back roller Pannier
Ortlieb Ultimate5 classic handlebar bag (medium)
Lighting: Planet Bike Rack Blinky 5 tail light (2AAA Batteries), CygoLIte MityCross 400 head light(Rechargeable Battery)
Bike Computer: Sigma Sport BC1009
Bike Mirror: Bike Peddler Take A Look Mirror

I was extremely happy with the racks and panniers from the previous trip, however being a supported ride I will only need these post Seattle when I continue on self contained. I did have some issues with the bike computer so may be looking to upgrade on that one.
