Calling crosser moms: childcare during races?
Hi all,
I am proud mom to an awesome and mellow 3-month old, and I am eager to return to cyclocross this season (took last season off due to pregnancy, though I kept riding daily).
Just wondering if any crosser moms have any good tips for race-day childcare. Yes, my husband could watch him but wouldn't it be fun if we both got to ride? And yes, the other answer is to convert him to cross, but it hasn't worked so far!
Would it be weird to advertise to my team and the local cyclocross list to see if there's someone I could hire to watch my guy for an hour or two during warmup and the race? Sort of like a mother's helper except away from home? Maybe a racer has a teenager who is there at the race anyway?
Other ideas?
