Ride to Pikes Peak: The Pikes Peak Park Plaza (on wheels)

About Me

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.

The Pikes Peak Park Plaza (on wheels)

Mom bought the trailer.

When she was on dialysis she put together a list of things she would do if she weren't on dialysis, i.e. if she could get a kidney transplant. There were trips to Macchu Pichu, Galapagos Islands, the Indianapolis Half Marathon and RV touring after retirement. This trip was a bit of a challenge from me to my mom to "go for it".

The trailer comes gently used and perfectly configured for our adventure. We'll have to paint a big "Pikes Peak Or Bust! on it. We had a "picnic lunch" in the trailer with my son Clayton this past weekend.
