Patsy sleeps on a ride

I had some wee company on my Saturday bike ride this week. My daughter, Patsy, 2, was a little more relaxed that I was as we pedaled our Atlanta neighborhood route. I was sweating while she was sleeping.

At one point I glanced back to see why she was so quiet. I saw her snoozing. Then it hit me — the key to our sleep strategy in next week’s adventure race in Costa Rica.

We can just bring three bikes and a trailer along on the night rides. Then take turns sleeping in the trailer while somebody pulls it. That way we can keep moving! Of course, Peter and Paul H. are probably too big, so it looks like Jenn and I will be the only ones sleeping this race. I think we can fit.

Now, how to pack that trailer on the plane …?
