It's not really high enough to make any meaningful temperature difference from the valley floor. You can spend a bit of time at the top but that's doing it wrong, really you want to be off the bus and hitting the trail immediately. You might have to some mid-trail stops if your group is inexperienced so it's worth having something that can block the wind.

Above 14-15 degrees I normally ride base layer/short sleeves.
Don’t forget that you’ll get pads with the hire bike I believe so there’ll keep your knees/elbows warm.
I’d suggest that you only do one green, the blues are a joy. Even give the red Vicious Valley a try

Anyone got tips for riding BPW in a fortnight? Will be hiring bikes, using the uplift and doing green/blue trails and wondering what conditions to dress for. ie. is it going to be sleeves regardless of the weather due to elevation/descending/etc.
