looking for a camera bag

Here's the problem. I am going to Assen for the MotoGP later this year. I want to take my K5 and Tamron 70-200 2.8 and need something to carry them in. I can either use a backpack just big enough for this combination, or use some other protective bag and put that inside a regular backpack. Travel to and from the circuit is by bicycle so I don't want anything huge I was looking at a Kata KT D-3N1-20 but I'm not sure if the lens would fit. Any suggestions? TIA

I use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lowepro-Fastpack-250-Backpack-Notebook/dp/B000YIYQ30

Have taken it to lots of places and done a LOT of walking with it, taken it on a few plane journeys, very comfortable and convenient.

The lowepro website shows a new 'AW' version which looks a bit nicer to be honest.

How big is the 70-200? I fit my 55-300 + hood in there nicely. It also has a small velcro opening just next to the main compartment which you can open and store another lens in, meaning you can open the bag, take your camera out and switch lenses without having to take the bag off.
