Hi Dennis,
My first thought (and prior to reading your description) was these riders are as unique as their very colorful gear and bikes. :) I enjoy how the dark green of the trees seems to frame the lead rider. The timing of your shot shows these riders determination. Love that little bit of tale flip. #10205862
