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.

Off we go

What a fortunate day. We had great weather to ride in and great people to be with. Friends Matt, Glenn and Tim rode along to Rams Training Camp. Then off to the Katy trail where we met Ron Walkenbach. Ron is a transplant recipient, corneal transplants saved the vision of both his eyes. We suffered a couple flat tires on the way but arrived safely in Hermann for Wiener Schnitzel. Excellent food for cycling.

We're camping at the Hermann City Park which has a public pool. Enjoyed the swim with Clayton. Travelled about 100 when it was all done.
