Over 9,000 skiiers converged on the Hayward/Cable area this past weekend for the 39th annual American Birkiebeiner ski race. The Birkie is the largest ski race in North America. We had 8 members of LPTR doing the full birkie, including 2 skiing their first (Bruce and Jamey). Deb Vomhof has the most finishes, completing her 19th this year, with Robert just 1 back with 18. The full Birkie is a point-to-point course, from the Telemark lodge in Cable to the town of Hayward. Skiiers have a choice of divisions, either the 54K Classic (diagonal stride, 1635 finishers), or the 50K Freestyle (skating, 3738 finishers). Results were:
