Peloton I don't know what the event was, but these cyclists were one of a number of groups out on this route that day. They were all wearing race numbers and they weren't hanging about! Taken while cowering out of the way at the edge of the road, having just crossed a stile on the route of the Usk Valley Walk. I barely had time to get the camera focused, never mind put any thought into framing the shot!
