What to bring???

We booked our self guided trip with Pedro at GoCyclingPortugal about 3 years ago. The company provides us: 
•. mountain bicycles with panniers (each bike has 2 panniers that hold about 10 liters each) 
• hotel stays along the way 
• a GPS device that will direct us (some roads and some bike trails)  on the safest and most scenic route to our daily destination,
• a list of  suggested sites and attractions to take in along the way

On this tour we will be cycling from Porto to Lagos, covering about  650 miles of asphalt, trails, and unpaved roads in 17 cycling days, an average of less than 40 miles a day. Prior to starting we have a few days to explore Porto and have arranged an extra day in Lisbon midway. . 

Packing is challenging … space available in our bicycle panniers is limited yet we want to bring the right clothing for the various possible weather conditions. Of course packing light is preferred, but being prepared and comfortable is  important.   Decisions… decisions😄!! 
We fly out in 6 days… Wednesday September 7th!!!
