Found a great way to train...

Throw 50+ pounds of camera gear on your back and hop on your bike! :p That sure slowed me down. Seems like it was great work for my legs though, which need a little boost :)

50 # of camera gear???
I'm afraid to bring my digital camera on my bike. It might get ripped off.

Wow!

50 lbs!

I thought adding my Medic Alert necklace was going to break the camel's back:p

yeah. Photography is my occupation at the moment. A medium format body, 35mm body, digital body, tripod, light meter, and handful of lenses can get heavy pretty quick. 50 might be an exaggeration :p, but I have weighed it in a 40 before with a little less gear!

I had a few projects around the city, and figured it would be easier to get there by bike rather than drive. It turned out to be harder than I expected!

wow, 50 lbs on my back riding a bike, wow, that is something I must try, will probably break me
