THE BIKE AUSTRIA TEAM
TRACY ANDERSON
Meet Tracy. We like to think of him as the energy behind Bike Austria. That energy powered him towards completing his medical degree at the University of Colorado AND the University of Innsbruck. Channeling this energy into training, he bagged State Championship road and mountain bike titles in Arizona and Idaho. Tracy’s fervent passion for the outdoors ultimately led him to his current home among the biggest peaks in Austria, where he became a certified mountain bike guide. He quickly earned himself a reputation among the locals for sniffing out the best singletrack and powder ski stashes in town. When you’re riding with Tracy, you’re in for a real adventure. His limitless energy and passion for the outdoors ensure you’ll experience the finest trails and tours the Austrian Alps and Hohe Tauern National Park have to offer.
DAVE MCCAHILL
A proud Adirondacker and native of Lake Placid, New York, Dave fell in love with Austria while competing as a ski jumper and cross-country ski racer. Since that time, he has never looked back. An avid cyclist, he skied and cycled for the Harvard University squad. Post university, he continued racing road, mountain, and cyclocross as a Category 2 racer before ditching the lycra in favor of baggy shorts. An Austrian-certified mountain bike guide, Dave has sampled the freshest singletrack in North America, Europe, and Nepal, and led backpacking and mountain bike trips across the globe. Whether it’s gravel ripping, singletrack shredding, or cruising along the Salzach, Dave is always up for leading friends and clients on an unforgettable cycling adventure.
