Rohrmoos, Austria

21 AUG 2013 - Atop a mountain in the clear blue sky of Rohrmoos, Austria, we gazed out at the wonderful view of the valley. Then we prepared ourselves to race.

 Rohrmoos, Austria

Before we do, let's have one more look on that valley. Amazing!

In the summer, the service road to the top of the mountain is transformed into a race track of mountain tricycles. We strapped on our helmets jumped aboard our tricycles and started down the mountain! The breaking on these tricycles is a little different than you might expect. The left brake controls the left rear wheel and the right break controls the right rear wheel. This gives you a tremendous ability to skid around dirt corners and really have a great time!

Speaking of a good time, I'm not sure who had more fun on the mountain that day... Elaine or the rest of us watching her. ;)

 Heidi and Eve Crazy Racer. Best to steer clear of these two!

Eve: They call me the mini Intimidator.
Dad: Really? I thought you were Eve Crazy Racer?
Eve: Sorry Dad, that's wrong. You can either get it right or get "intimidated".
Dad: Tough choice. Can I think about it?
Eve: Prepare to be "intimidated".
