The Peloton

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 6 November 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

I caught this group of bicyclists riding together one evening around one of the buisness parks where I work. Hard to believe that I actually used to ride like this...a long, long time ago.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Good capture of their speed and I like that you caught the one helmet and face (far left) in focus!

I love the way you used the motion blur in this. It conveys intensity.

@Laurie: These guys were pretty intense and they were only out for exercise; it wasn't a race. There looked to be about 50 cyclists in total and were probably moving at about 30 mph (about 50 km/h). They were fast!
