Jack-

Looks like your list is coming together. A few suggestions:

--What are the carabiners for? Can you get buy with one or none?
--I know you are a writer but there is a lot of redundancy with your electronics. Can you narrow this down?
--2 jerseys instead of 4
--1 pair of underwear total for off bike instead of 4. 1 pair shorts liners for on-bike.
---1 SS t-shirt instead of 3
--1 LS- shirt instead of 3
--You don't need cargo shorts with convertible pants
--No jeans. Very heavy and your convertible pants are enough.
--No toiletry case. Freezer bag instead--lighter and easier to find stuff.
--Going to 2 panniers only will save almost 5 lbs.

--Add one more tube
--Bug spray?


Will you encounter any cold temps? If so, you might want long underwear bottoms, an ultralight down jacket, and knit cap.
