Color Pack
I took this shot during the Women's Liberty Classic in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. The race is over 50 miles long and each lap takes a long time to complete.Knowing the bikers would pass by me in a certain pattern, I set my aperture at a shallow depth to isolate a few bikers, composed the background to remove some distracting elements and fired away.
Because I was so close to the action I was able to get a nice perspective of the action while including a large part of the field. The bright colors of the different teams were really strong thanks to the bright sunshine.

I am not so into sportsphoto. But I like how they ride towards me as a viewer from the photo.

Nice pic, seems like the all the members of the same team won the race:)
Thanks for the comments.
deepak-I'm not sure if the pink team won (T-Mobile) since this shot was taken in the middle of the race. To be honest I was more concerned with photos than the results.
