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.

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.

Zebulon Pike gets "national" press

CNN.com posted a story about the 200th Anniversary of Pike's expedition. The story has a link to zebulonpike.org which features RTPP on the home page. Here's excerpts from CNN.com: "Pikes Peak is an American icon," said Carol Keenness, of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. "Everybody has heard of Pikes Peak."

"(Pike's) not the first guy to be in Colorado," said Clive Siegle, manager of the Santa Fe Trail Association, which is coordinating bicentennial activities. "But he becomes, if you will, the first tour guide."
