This week on the podcast I speak with Matthew Kadey @rocketfuelfood, the mastermind behind the BT700, a 700km bikepacking race in southwestern Ontario. The event generally starts as a grand depart every July in St. Jacobs, Ontario but, due to Covid-19, the start was modified to be a grand depart weekend and was a great success.
Matthew is a James Beard Award-winning food journalist and a registered dietitian. He is a recipe developer and nutrition writer for top health and fitness magazines and has written for Bicycling, Canadian Cycling, Canadian Running, Competitor, Delicious Living, Eating Well, Experience Life, Men's Health, Men's Journal, Prevention, Runner's World, Shape, Trail Runner, Triathlete, WebMD, Women's Health, Women's Running, and Yoga Journal. Matthew won the James Beard Award in 2013 for Food Journalism. He holds a masters degree in sports nutrition and is the author of Muffin Tin Chef and The No-Cook, No-Bake Cookbook. Check out his book, Rocket Fuel on Amazon.
In this episode we chat about his new bikepacking route, Log Driver’s Waltz, an 800 kilometre, multi-day cycling route that traverses a vast variety of terrain in the Ottawa Valley and Outaouais regions of Ontario and Quebec. We chat about the success of the BT700 and how small communities along the route have stepped up to support the project. We also discuss the developing bikepacking scene and the influx of elite and professional athletes participating.
