Thanks folks.
Rain gear (2), bike cover, toolkit, shock pump and tire kit w/ compressor. The TourPak is used for the stuff we use frequently like maps, extra clothes, night glasses, gloves, detailing stuff, drying towels, sunscreen, first aid kit etc............

+ 1 on the rain gear. Add a couple of 'local' maps and I'm good to go!!
If it's going to be a longer ride, you might find a couple of bottles of water and something to nibble on in there also.

Get an EZ Air Tire Guage, they make filling up your tires at a gas station so much easier. I got mine on eBay, with a pouch and shipping for about $25. Money well spent.
