Ride to Pikes Peak

An opportunity for a mother and son to do something special for Polycystic Kidney Disease, for organ donation and for us.

Name:

In 1806, Zebulon Pike traveled west and sighted Pikes Peak. We biked 990 miles along his route and then ran the Pikes Peak Marathon. We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise PKD awareness. PKD caused the failure of Pat’s kidneys. A transplant saved her life eight years ago. Pat’s brothers, sisters and mother were afflicted with PKD, seven in all. Pat describes how PKD affected her life and televised news features are in the "News Coverage" link on the left margin.

Getting up

I wanted to title this post "getting my ass up" but I decided against it. Today I had an incredible run. I'm in San Francisco posting this in a corner coffee shop. I was invited by the St. Louis Blues for a trip to see the team play against San Jose. Today and Wednesday I was able to run the best route a long distance guy could ask for. Downtown along the bay to the Golden Gate across the bridge into Marin Hills. Wednesday I went up to Hawk Hill. Today I went down to Kirby's Cove. The many spectacular views and sights are incredible and touring the town one stride at time is the best. I detoured through the Presidio this morning. Really special. Anyway I got up before dawn to get the run in. That's how I get my runs and rides in. Just got to get my ass out of bed. Now stepping off the soapbox.
