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

My Photo
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.

One state down, one and a half to go

We're not in Missouri anymore. With my friends Tim, Matt and Scott we made it to Kansas late Saturday afternoon. Even with the heat we put the hammer down when we realized we were within 10 miles of being done. We took a group photo with everyone's families before wrapping up our group ride across Missouri.

Camped at Four Rivers Conservation Area, the spot where Zebulon Pike arrived on August 19, 1806 and stayed until September at the Osage Indian's village. I drank a coffee to Lt. Pike Sunday morning. Check the photo album for pictures of all.
