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.

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.

100 miles

With better weather I can bike outdoors. Today was my first ride of the season and I wanted to see how effective the spinning in my basement has been so I got up at dawn and rode from my house to the Arch, up the riverfront trail over into Illinois and up to Alton and back. 100 miles.
Here's my report: I forgot how long it takes and I didn't bring enough food (I had to stop for a Snickers and Gatorade), a little soreness in my neck, the bike worked great, I'm excited for RTPP.
