I'm sleeping in my riding clothes. The shoes, helmet, gloves and glasses can wait till I get in the car.

If I had that nice new bike of yours I'd sleep with that as well.

If all else fails, a little Hawthorne works for me. I knew 'The Scarlett Letter' would be good for something someday.

Sleep well everyone. See you at 5am.

As for sleep, I'll be popping an Ambien around 7-8pm to try for at least 7 hours of sleep. I've used it a few times in the past, and fortunately it doesn't leave me groggy the next morning.
doesnt ambien make you sleep walk and do werid things at night?

Wouldn't it be nice to take a pill that knocked you out and then woke you back up at the top of West Horse Thief all fresh and ready for a fun decent!
