Set up & Gear list for upcoming Sweden to Portugal trip

Hello all!

In a little less than a week I am starting my first really long bikepacking trip. I'll be leaving from Stockholm, Sweden and going to Braga, Portugal. I am planning on doing ~100 km per day on average with 1 rest day per week. I am sure there will be days I don't feel like going so far, and a few times I will need more than 1 rest day in a row, so I estimate it will take in total 2 months. I will be mostly camping (wild camping or campsites) with the occasional hostel/hotel night every now and then to rest up, sleep in a real bed etc.

Since this is my first multi-week trip, I would really appreciate your pointers about my gear. Should something be left at home, did I miss something essential, should something be changed etc. (There are for sure some redundancies and luxury items – I am not by any means going as light as possible. Instead I am trying to find a balance between lightless and comfort.

The bike + all gear (no food or water) is 28.5 kg.

I am really looking forward to the trip, and I am also slightly intimidated, haha! Feel free to ask any questions!

Appreciate the input guys! Thanks a lot!
