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

My main weekend ride is along the Mississippi River. It's scenic and mostly off roads. The trail crosses at the historic Chain of Rocks Bridge (old postcard photo right). A map of the route is on-line.

Great ride. Lots to see. One lousy section of crushed rock as you get over into Illinois but otherwise a great ride!
