I just set out on my 1st 300K last weekend, on a Saluki. I used a L'il loafer on a nitto mini front rack and a large Acorn saddlebag behind. I packed an extra baselayer and socks for when it would get colder/damper after Sundown, second pair of gloves, a spare tire, 2 spare tubes, 1st aid kit, lots of food, tool kit, extra batteries, extra lights, and a recharger for the cell phone & Garmin. I had room to stow a Showers Pass touring jacket which came off during the warmer hours of late morning to early afternoon. I did not have excess storage room going to waste. If you plan to pack lighter, you'd need less.
Something big enough to hold it all will probably be a saddle bag. You can hang a bar tube for assorted odds and ends you want close at hand, and use a clip on type cue sheet holder.
