Birkie Novel and Inca Trail Presentations at Midwest Mountaineering

Walter Rhein will be presenting on hiking the Inca Trail with Olympic cross-country skiers Leif Zimmermann, Martin Koukal, and Roberto Carcelen this Saturday, November 17th in Minneapolis.  He will also be presenting on his well-received cross-country skiing memoir “Beyond Birkie Fever.” The two presentations will be approximately one hour in length and will feature a slide show of spectacular images from Peru as well as the Birkie.

The first presentation is titled “Connecting the Lost Cities: Hiking the Inca Trail with Olympic Athletes” and will be on Saturday, November 17th at 10:30 AM in the University of Minnesota Hanson Hall, Room 106 (the address for Hanson Hall is: 1925 4th St. S, Minneapolis MN 55455).  This is the story of a six day journey in Peru from Choquequirao to Machu Picchu.

The second presentation is titled “Beyond Birkie Fever” and will be a discussion of his humorous cross-country skiing memoir of the same name.  The book was recently featured in the Chippewa Valley Book Festival. This presentation will be on Saturday, November 17th at 2:15 PM in the University of Minnesota Hanson Hall, Room 105.

These presentations are free to the public, and the author will be available to sell and sign his novel after the presentations.  For more information, click here.
