You have a few nice shots in that bunch, but try not to dilute a strong photo series by mixing in mediocre shots for the sake of completing the story.

I liked the first shot. Raise your standards for inclusion into a photo series - some photos need to be cropped tighter, some photos have elements accidentally cropped out of it (hands, wheels, suchlike). On the fundamentals you need to pay more attention to working your AF and tracking, in the action shots its actually a bit back-focused. You need to lead the subjects a little.

The series of photos of cars with the figures on the roof might've been better being excluded.

hello r32,
Ya thanks for the comments.
Thanks for the advice about a more stringent selection. I was also undecided and finally included all of the above just to show some background of the event to clubsnappers (mostly non cyclists I presume).
