12-oz, err, 355mL curls. 
I guess that depends on what you're picking them up for.
5 weeks of biking - your body is going to be pretty tired as it is. be sure to get in at least 1 day of rest a week.
5 weeks is a long time.... I'm not really sure what to tell you. But eat lots of protein and have a good time!

What exercise can I do to not loose my upper body muscle mass while away on my 5 week biking trip.
I know of push ups, sit ups and maybe some tricep with the bench of a picnic table
Anything else?
bicep curls with 1 bike in each hands?
Deyv, you staying in hotels, staying with people, or camping?
You could bring heavy duty plastic bags, fill them with sand when you get there, and that will give you instant dumbells. You could do tons of exercises using dumbells, as I am sure you know. Doing pushups using various arms width will hit your chest and triceps. That will help keep your muscles worked, but won't help you gain any mass. Keeping your fingers and thumbs together in a triangle shape will give your triceps a good workout.

Sorry, I wasn't clear on the triangle thing. When doing pushups, keep your hands close together, forming a triangle with your index fingers and thumbs. Pushups are a lot tougher to do this way, and most of the stress in on your triceps.
If you can't get sand or dirt, try filling a couple of containers with water (plastic milk jugs work well).
You could do pullups on a low-hanging tree banch to keep your back worked. Pullups are the best back exercise you can do.
