Well, last year after heading up and over Red Mountain Pass (elev 11,018)...a little flurry and some cold-a$$ drizzle...we reached the bottom and expected my g/f to be relieved that we were over (no railings, sheer cliffs, etc.)...only to find that she had SLEPT the entire distance.
Such a trooper this woman...she had a nasty cold/flu for most of that trip and didn't gripe one time (4 days over to the 4-corners rally).
Have fun...

Only on the Ultra has she done "touch and goes" but hasn't fallen asleep.
Funny, she is wide awake on the freeways but nods on the backroads. Guess it's the weave and slow roller coaster effect that puts her to sleep.
Been talking about getting her a face shield so she doesn't get so much fresh air.

Isn't this situation potentially dangerous to the sleeping passenger? It appears the order would be nodding off, drifting to one side, actually falling off, then possibly getting run over and mangled by the car behind? If it wouldn't seem ridiculous, I thought at one time of attaching a long belt around the backrest and also around the passenger (as sort of a seatbelt) to help prevent the above from happening.
I just got head sets so we can talk.

Its one of my biggest concerns on long rides...so far so good though. I always tell her to let me know if she's getting sleepy and we'll stop and rest for a few. We've traveled 6K miles in the last 2 years on trips and she's done great.
