did I say that? I have never uplifted at BPW just because im too tight and have 2 batteries..I am definitely one for being over cautious and over thinking haha I took your advice from other posts though and paid for the uplift too @dobbyhasfriends
Apologies I didn't read the bit about you already having the uplift
If you have not been there before then be prepared for a different grading system to what you are used to. I was soon put in my place as to what I thought I could ride
the reds are brilliant.. I think hotstepper is my favourite, wibbly wobbly is probably the easiest with surfin bird and vicious valley also being good fun. lots of the rest are hard work or just plain terrifying.. I find insufficient funds like that, far more perilous than it appears.. but that could just be me, sucking.Yeah mate all good I have the uplift pass all booked and ready to rock, been once before but really just did the blues, coming for the reds this time but was nervous the wet weather would be an issue for the bikes electrics
DONT DO IT !Roots manover could be interesting, especially if you don't drop your tyre pressures
been there a fair few times and agree, would add that a bit of rain makes it grippier on many trails and deadlier on others..I've barely ridden BPW in good weather despite having been probably 40+ times (had a year's pedal up pass once)
You'll be fine in the rain, particularly summer rains.
What you do get from BPW on a really wet day is covered in grit from the trails. It's a particular type of grit that works it's way into your ears, teeth, between your toes.... and coats the bike too! I'm not huge on washing the eeeb too much but its worth it after a wet BPW day as the bike gets so noisy!
Great day out tho.... enjoy!

You in the rain = Good to go your skins waterproof.
EBike in the rain= Good to go it’s a mountain bike not an ornament.
