Episode 10 of the
Birkie Web Today Podcast has published. In this episode I interview Dave Mathews, who is a long-time bicyclist and found Nordic skiing as a great winter activity while living in Omaha, Nebraska in 1982. He is an active member of the
Kansas City Nordic Ski Club.
Dave, who lives in Prairie Village, Kansas which is a suburb of Kansas City, has been bicycling for 35 + years. He has been a long-time member of the Kansas City Bicycle Club, serving as a past club president and chairman of racing. Dave races in several road and cyclecross and sometimes mountain biking events each year.
He is a Civil Engineer with the US Army Corps of Engineers and graduated from Iowa State University and the University of California Berkeley with both degrees in civil Engineering. Dave began Nordic skiing while living in Omaha, Nebraska and has completed eight Birkie and two Kortelopet races as well as three City of Lakes Loppett races as a classic skier. He is an active member of the Kansas City Nordic Ski Club.
In the podcast Dave shares his secrets to staying in shape for skiing the Birkie when there is not much on-snow time. Something many Birkie skiers face.
