Having been to a few bike races in the past I have always thought they would be fun to photograph. Not only are the events very colorful, with the variety of jersey's and sponsor logo's, but also present a real challenge to photograph. Many elements come into trying to capture a good image. First, these riders are traveling at speeds of 30-40 MPH and trying to "freeze" them in frame is a challenge. Secondly, the lighting can vary every few feet as they travel through shadowed aeas of the course. These two images seemed to capture the many elments of bike racing. The color, speed, intensity and the fitness level of the competitors.

Brian, the Coke sign is great, I like the color, contrast, framing.
