Yes, carry a good pump. But no, don't deflate and re-pump every day! This is 2021, not the dark ages! There is a way to add another release in the brake cable path. I don't know what it is but I wouldn't stop until I found (or invented) it. An easy one is brake levers with built-in releases but brifters are not yet so enlightened. I'd see if there is an equivalent to the in-line barrel adjusts. You could just use a barrel adjuster to loosen, then re-tighten the cable (in addition to the caliper brake release),
