Lori, I wear the MSR Elbow Guards and Shift Knee/Shin Guards.
I feel nekkid without ALL of my gear. Elbow & knee guards, kidney belt, pants, jersey, boots, gloves, chest protector, helmet and goggles. Of course that could be because I know what is in store for me the minute I fire up my bike and start out on the trail following Karl!
In a short two hour ride this weekend exploring Mica I managed to go over the bars due to the same stupid log I tipped over on last weekend, tip over in numerous attempts to avoid sliding into areas I didn't want to slide into and on the last mile of the journey, sliding down Stick Bush Trail, I tipped over and rolled summersault style down the hill about 10 feet. Luckily, my bike was happy to just lay there leaking gas out on it's side until I could stop myself from rolling and walk back up to it. Ahhhhh, just another fun Karl adventure. :cool:
