One of the biggest mistakes is over-packing!  Your are on a bike, not a motorhome.  Take only what you absolutely need.  Luxory items, such as music need to be minimized (an Ipod takes little room, however).

The other thing, is under-gaments:  purchase some UnderArmor-type clothing, as well as hi-tech long john's.  Mills Fleet Farm sells their own brand of UnderArmor type products, at 1/2 of the UA cost, works just as well, too.  With these products, you can wash them in the sink, at night, with regular hand soap; air dry them overnight, and wear them the next day.  This minimizes the volume of undergarments needed, freeing up valuable space for other items.  I recommend two pairs (boxer briefs, and T-shirts, long-sleeved and short, as needed), to give you extra drying time, as mine don't always dry completely, by morning.  Cheers!
