Feeling like spring

Today my dearest mother is 94 years old. She's still totally with it and absolutely amazing!

More images of the carrier-moped race.




Taking action pictures in bad weather is a bit tricky!
But with the enthusiasm of the racers there's always an angle and a great shot.

Cross Rally in Amsterdam

Easter Weekend: April 3-4, 2010

We went to the "bakbrommer races". Translations for this are "carrier moped" or "triporteur". Basically it is a moped or a motorbike with a carrier in front. Each and every one is different because they are all handmade.

There is a driver and the "bakkenist" or the one who leans to the left, leans to the right and holds on for dear life while taking the curves. This course was particularly difficult because we had just had a week of rain and, at some places, the mud was ankle deep.



Look! Here comes Alexia (with the red hair) at the start of the rally.




More friends, after taking a few rounds, looking a bit tried. Erwin at the wheel and Marcel doing the lean.

In a few days, check my other blog: www.judieye01.blogspot.com for the rest of the series.

Lots and lots of bunnies! It's nearly Easter!
