If it was me I would take some bunks prob 10x50 or 12x50. ( though I love my canon 12x36 IS) I don't think they would survive the trip
Something waterproof which is sealed would keep out more dust though some is bound to get in I reckon
The other suggestion if you must have a scope look at Meade etc 90 it's compact & you can buy an adapter to mount camera on top so no need for tripod ( scope has it's own base) just plonk it on a table
The geared head is fine I have one & it works really well
As for tripod if you need one keep it small
The last option is a spotting scope the celestron regal 65 has Ed glass is light & small & waterproof ( a big advantage over the etc) it will help keep the dust out some, but on a bike I think it might still get in
For a Bino suggestion look at andrewscom at the 10x50 ultra they are an military copy & about as rugged as bins get
