Second Summit Achieved!!! Two Down, Five to Go!

We are happy to report that the bike twins have successfully finished their second of seven summit goals in their bike and climb adventures.  In July of 2010 they conquered Mt. Elbrus from sea level to the peak in 46 hours and 15 minutes.   Elbrus is located in Russia, near the border of Georgia and is the highest mountain in all of Europe. Mt. Elbrus stands at 5,642 metres (18,510 ft).  Many congratulations, Horst and Gernot!
