- a mirror (optional extra)

I would say that the mirror is a critical piece. I too come from an urban commuting background where you're constantly doing shoulder checks and I never felt I needed a mirror, but when I started riding rural roads (longer stretches, fewer cars but faster-moving) I found a mirror to be an absolute game changer and I'd never tour without it. I bought the $20 Zefal Spy Mirror and mounted it to the drop bar.

Otherwise, yes to everything said above. I'm hoping to be out that way in July/August!
