So... today's task was photographing members of the Wounded Warrior Run as they competed in an ultra marathon. This particular event took place on a 10km (7 mile) loop that follows the shore of a lake. Since it is a nice, wide path for the most part, I decided to take my bike and ride "against the flow" to allow me to get where I wanted to be. It worked well enough, but... riding with the 70-200 mounted was a bit of a challenge; I had my back-pack with me, but I didn't want to put it away and take it out each time, so I settled for strapping inside the pack's waist-band and hooking the tripod foot over the top. It worked well enough, but it was hardly ideal.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this better, and by 'better' I mean more securely (for the gear)? I know there are various holsters and such, but this isn't something I do often enough to really justify buying more gear.
