FWIW: "only" 30 mph does some nasty things to road cyclists. You'll live. But you'll hate taking a shower for a couple weeks. Asphalt is basically 10 grit sandpaper. Don't mean to be the guy brow bashing you, but I hit the deck twice today on my trail ride and have some new bruises I'll be nursing all week. Those are fairly minor in comparison to pavement injuries.
Good choice getting some gear.
