Birkie People


What an adventure!! We went to Cable, WI this weekend with hopes of doing the Birkie. It did not snow Friday night so we gave up on it until we saw the thousands of people willing to ski over the marginal conditions. Birkie People are unique! Everyone was happy, absolutely no complaining... They had to change and modify all kinds of things and everyone simply goes with the flow with a smile on their face. I hate to say it but skiers have it on cyclists in the pleasant department. I was so bummed out when Michael T. wanted to do it... but he is a Birkie person and he got me to do it and we had a GREAT ski. What a wonderful experience and then he drove us home through the snow. No complaints, no blaming... just loving sport and outdoors. Skiers just need a trail and they love what ever they get. They simply ski. They get it. Thanks Michael for getting me to ski and getting me home in one piece. What an adventure!

Oh and the workout was great Zone 1- 3 minutes, Zone 2- 15 minutes, Zone 3- 1:40... WOW! Those hills will do it everytime!
