first time i went BPW i just used my helmet, gloves and knee pads for protection…i cam off and landed on my head and the bike hit me on the back of the shoulder.
scratches on the shoulder blade and a big hole in my right elbow…funny thing is that i posted a picture of me on facebook when we got there and a friend commented on me not having elbow pads!! she must have jinxed me!! i’d lent my 661 pressure suit to another rider who did in fact need it for his big tumble.
the following year we went he borrowed my pressure suit again but in return he lent me his long sleeved 661 sub gear top.
we’re going again next month. i’ve given my pressure suit away to another friend and have bought my own long sleeved sub gear shirt which i’ll be wearing….anything more than that feels a bit overkill for BPW…it’d be more suited for Antur Stinniog IMO
