Older girls are 5 and 7. Baby is happy to gurgle about. Plus we are going with another family who are similar to us in nearly every way, and they have done this twice before. So at all times the kids will have 2 adults. As we all spend a good amount of time camping, biking and hiking together for extended periods of time we don't see any problems with the kids at all. They have all been outdoors/adventure kids since they were born. Trust me, the 6-hour is just another day out for them. If the weather is bad, we have my sister's in-laws here in town who are happy to have them for the day. This is just a 6-hour, so its just a day thing, not an overnight. At the 12-hour and 24 hour we will be having totally different arrangements. Probably a huge group of us non-biking and biking mates camping and all pitching in together.
We are going to have a planning meeting in the couple of days to work out arrangements for hydration, nutrition, repairs etc and ensure that we have a well planned, well stocked transition area.
