Even 15K is a lot of scratch for something that small. I don't know how well they'll do. How much is a Cooper? They're close to 15K, right? Either way, It'd be a great day to see a lot of efficient...

I find I get the best results by riding up behind them real quiet and then pushing them off the trail.
Just kidding of course. I say "behind you" if I can tell they aren't regulars on the path, but...
