 Taken on the annual bike race round Boise Idaho. Hundreds of competitors and the race goes on for about 3 hours. This was near the end of the race and one of hundreds of shots that I took that afternoon.
PP was curves, levels, save for web and usm.

Thanks to all the many helpful comments. This was one of about 300 shots taken that afternoon. The light was going down rapidly but I was really pleased to have got this final one shot.

great motion panning action shot, the key areas are nice and sharp. I would maybe prefer a little more room to the right but that's a minor issue
