 Didn't think I was going to have anything for this challenge, and then the group that I ride with on Sunday evenings rode up through Trinity Park, alongside the tracks that the miniature train from the zoo uses. Hopped off the bike and fired off a few. Not a bad showing for something that had about 5 seconds of planning at most.

Performed about as expected, maybe even a tad better. Blur is always a risky entry in a challenge that isn't blur specific. I did have some shots without the zoom blur, but this one appealed to me the most.

Photo is nice, but I had you pegged for one of your "old guys with beards in the stockyards" type images for this challenge :)

sunday night? Looks daylight to me. How about "Afternoon Ride" or Morning Ride". Nice motion effect but it makes it look like everything is in motion, even the bridge, like you're on the end of the train moving in the opposite direction. I'm sure that's a photoshop motion setting. Try this shot again with the camera on a lower tripod and the shutter open 1/2 to 1 second as bike riders are riding by.
