hirakukibou- please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I love that you're still planning to do your tour, and that it will be done with your father in mind. I'm certain he would have loved to take such an amazing adventure, and you'll be making him proud.
I lost my father at a young age, and when I decided to become active, every race I've ever run (or ridden) has been with him on my shoulder. Your father will be along for the ride with you the whole way.
Take care of yourself, and take it easy. Big hugs to you!
