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.

In sight of Pikes Peak

We're camped in sight of Pikes Peak. We ended just ahead of a thunderstom which is now raining on the KOA-Pueblo campground. Rest on Sunday, finish up on Monday. 168 KM (about 105 miles) today. About 935 miles so far.

Until tonight, I had not really "stepped back" to look at a big map or think about what has happened since August 3rd. We've been remembering funny things but we get the days mixed up and can't remember what day it happened. Check the photo gallery.
