Biil, thanks so much for finding this and posting. Nikki's spirit was evident in his posts here. I'm so glad he's being memorialized in this way by his fellow climbers.

Dadmo,
You are an amazing individual, with so much passion.

Glad to here your ride was inspirational. Niki is surely proud!

An that song, is my FAVORITE, hard to hold back tears, when words can be so strong.

I'm sure I never shared with anyone how often Niki and I talked about mountain climbing and his potential attempt to help me climb Mt. Rainier. Anyway todays ride was amazing, I could not have hoped for anything better. This morning for my front half of the 60 miles the honeysuckle was blooming every inch of the way and the smell was glorieous. For this afternoons hill climb the temperature was perfect my first climb was as hard as usual. I finished that and dropped down to the lake. At the lake front I took a short break to have an energy bar and then headed out. Very early on in the climb this song began to play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRdqHzVxPQM. I have always thought of our sons as my son and the pain of what they go through was never more on the surface. I have to tell you it's not easy to ride with tears in your eyes but this gave me the boost I needed. It was such an amazing day that later in the season I will ride for Niki again and add a third hill.

Onward and upward Bill, Give it Hell!!!!

Anxious, very anxious. I should hit the second climb about 3:15. I know it's only a bike ride but...

What a morning ride, I felt great and I felt Niki with me. In fact I had a dream that Niki and I were getting ready to climb and he came into my tent to wake me up for the final push of the week and it actually woke me up at 4:45 this morning which is the time I should have set the alarm for but failed to. Nice job on the one Niki.

[dadmo]

I've never had to step off during a climb so I'm really hoping Niki will give me a little push.

Here's an elevatrion profile of the hill section I'm going to do for Niki.

Niki would be proud .
