Yes, get a rolling duffle, flip flops or a set of Keen-like shoes. There'll be a lot of walking on ALC. From the baggage trucks to the tent area, back again in the morning. You might only have a day when you are close to the trucks.

The amazing BikeGoddess brought a backpack and schlepped her luggage each day. I prefer wheels.

All along as you pack think "less is more" Pack, discard, pack, find out if UK has that too, pack ....

My routine if I have one is 7 baggies each with a days outfit. Arm warmers you can get away with wearing a couple days, vests too. I've usually brought 3 pair skins, 3 vests, 6 jerseys (get one in camp store), 7 shorts.

This is just me: I don't bring a jacket. Our mutual cousin taught me the appreciation of a good wind resistant vest. Undershirt or base layer, jersey, arm skins and a vest. In all but the worst weather that's fine and easily unzips, doffs down when you and or weather warms up.

I designate one baggie "cold". Count on one day being colder than average and that's got a long sleeve jersey and or undershirt like Craft, glove liners, wool socks and heavier tights.

If that turned out to be Red Dress day than I'd have a conundrum. Do I pick fashion or function. Good thing Red Dress Day is often warm.

One bag with misc. ride necessities like cat crap (do you need any? I think I can find mine), those thingies that hold your glasses, extra pair of gloves, a minimal bike cleaning kit (you could skip that).

Bring 1 or 2 large plastic bags. Each day after showering I toss the sweaty toxic waster bike gear into the bag. It compacts quite a bit.

You won't need street clothes, maybe a pair of sweats. Last time initially I brought very old thread bare not even good enough for Goodwill sweat shirt and pants to change into after showering. After a day or two's wear bought new in the camp store and tossed out the old ones.

In my case sleeping bag goes outside in its own separate bag that straps onto my bag which I can set aside for you if you want to look at it. Thermarest pad fit into the bag.
