Pentax Equipment is reasonably tough, but no camera or lens is made to hit
rock at high velocity. I'd take one of the smallest cameras I have, either
an LX, MX or ME Super - probably the LA as I have five of them and they are
the most weather proof camera there is outside of underwater gear. As to
lenses, this depends on you. I'd take my A50/2.8 Macro and my A35-105/3.5. I
have a Pelican case that will hold one small 35mm camera with normal size
lens and my A35-105/3.5. I think it's a "1200". I'd lash/bungee the case to
a sturdy carrier on the bike and put one of those small carabineers where
the padlock lock goes to insure there's no way the case will open to spill
the contents even if I take a bad spill. That's just me, your style and risk
assessment may be different.
Pelican cases are wonderful. Even the airlines can't mar your equipment when
they're inside these ultra sturdy cases.

Say you wanted to bring an SLR and 1-3 lenses with you
on a mountain biking trip... how would you do it, and
what sort of body/lenses would you bring?
Just how tough IS pentax equipment?
