Pillage N the Village Bed Race Regatta

Palmyra, NY hosted its fourth annual Pillage N the Village Bed Race Regatta this weekend. For those are not familiar with bed races, it involves a 5-person team, who ideally should be four bob-sledders in training and a jockey.  Teams modify bedframes by adding wheels and push bars as well as decorating it accordingly (presentation always counts). The race is pretty simple: The jockeys ride their respective beds while their teammates push the beds at breakneck speed to the mid-point of the race route where they have to stop. The jockeys jump off their beds, run to a bucket, put on a pair of pajamas and race back to their beds. Then the team races to the finish line.
