Talk about yer mixed nuts…  Kate is an XC rider from London, and Hamish is another one of those Jedi Council types from Hertfordshire.  This could be challenging keeping them both satisfied.  We’ll see how things go in Naramata first.

So far so good.  Kate keeps the wheels on the ground, but can deal with just about anything and is fit enough to go all day.

Meanwhile, Hamish is not fazed by anything.

For a Herts rider, this is nothing.

Your affable hosts hang out on the beach between runs.

Round two, and it’s a bit more about Kate as we go for a slightly more pedally flavour on High Pony.

No Hamish, you can’t go bowling.

She’s all smiles, it must be OK…

There’s always a couple of hits around to keep Hamish happy.

Hamish and I got a a bonus lap in on the Beer Run, so that he could exercise his demons (not a typo, they needed some fresh air).  I don’t know where Tony finds these guys, but this one can seriously ride.

These are some fairly hefty moves that are kind of sketchy at best, and he nailed them all on sight.

I think tomorrow we’ll hit up Powers Creek and McDougall, and give Hamish a bit more of a workout.
