Source to the sea experiment

Today was the annual 'Source to the Sea' race , where a bunch of nutters on bikes ride from the source of the Buller River (up at Lake Rotoiti) down to Westport. SOme do the whole way and some work in teams. Murchison is a change over place for the teams and so all cyclists come through the town.
Having read up on it in a photo magazine I decided to try some shots getting the bike in focus but the background blurred. The magazine suggested this suggests speed.
Here is one of the better shots!
(I think I have a long way to go!!!)
