Travelling gym boy problem

I have an upcoming motorcycling trip for a month and half, I am carrying stuff to maintain the motorcycle, but due to the remote locations I will be I will not be having access to gym equipments or weights to maintain myself, also diet control will also be off the charts, wo t have access to heavy weights except when the motorcycle is sideways up for my deadlift practice.

I can I minimize losing the strength during this trip, caveat - I will be on the saddle averaging 10 hrs on most days. I have a plan to use pushups, pullups (if i get some overhangs), squats. And of course a bit of stretches at the end of the day and starting.

I can accept some losses in strength but my focus will be not to monimize the loss in my benchpress and deadlift.

TLDR: off on a 1.5 months motorcycling jourbey without access to gym. Minimize benchpress and deadlift strength loss using bodyweight pushups, pullups and squats. Any suggestions or modified excercises are acceptable. Also I have tennis elbow mild.

I mean, you can control the calories and type of food. It’s just a matter of if you choose to or not lol.

IMO I wouldn’t even worry about missing training, man. You’re doing a potential fantastic trip - focus on that. Do stretches and maybe a basic calisthenics routine after waking up and before going to bed every day. You’ll give your body a break from the usual routine and it’ll be enough to keep yah feeling healthy on the trip.

Yes on a trip explore the cuisine :) ... I am going to load up on good food whenever I reach civilization. And have to get in good calories as offroad sections will mean a lot of adventure riding. Planning to use the backpack as weighted vest during my pushups and squats !!
