Here are some of my first round of pics from the parade. Again there were a huge number of riders. and to sort through them is going to take a while.

Enjoy

Second batch

Still more

Fremont
 

+1 to Klondike, weather was lousy but there was a great turnout..

Happened to be passing through but without a decent cam.. anyway, here are a couple from last years that haven't been posted before.

Looking forward to seeing what came from today.

Continuing

There were so many riders. I didn't capture even a fraction of the riders. I have 200+ photos to sort, but I'll keep plugging away as I can this weekend.

hi Bjcojack - great work capturing so many beautiful women!

This girl:

https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/atta...1&d=1276990017

was special. I tend to like girls a little on the slim side, so maybe I'm biased in saying I thought she was one of the hottest riders I've ever seen. I will post my full frontal shots of her shortly!

Bjcojak - I am firmly convinced that this is becoming almost a women's ride. :) I was overwhelmed by the ratio of women to men at Hale's. I mean, if someone was to say it was 70% female at the painting party, I would not dispute that. Maybe the women are more into the bodypainting aspect then the men, I don't know. But once again, we had an exceptional turnout of young women! I have never seen a ride so packed with females! It must be the thing to do in Seattle among liberal minded women - almost like a coming out party. At any rate, I will get a few pics up tonight, but I have another ride to attend (WNBR Portland) so it will be tomorrow before I get good numbers up.

This year I vowed to be more active and try to stay in front of my subjects. I think that you all will note that. 60-70% of my pics are from Hales (Pre-ride) and the rest from Gasworks Park. Each year at the park, it is a little unclear as to what everyone will do. This year there was a new twist on things as the usual area to disembark had been reduced in size, so riders got shunted off to the left. At that point, most stopped at the fork rather than continue on into the grassier areas of the Park. Fewer nudes climbed the hill in Gasworks Park than in the last couple of years.

For several reasons, picture taking was easier and more profitable for me than in previous years. It all has to do with the whim of the riders and organizers in how they set everything up and where they assemble, ride, pose, etc.

Klondike

I agree its becoming a womans parade. I didn't make it to the end of the parade this year so most of mine are riding by. But I do have some great shots. I can;t wait to see you work Klondike. I'll be sorting through the rest this weekend myself.

Sometimes the little "thanks" button is not enough...so, thank you bjcojak for the super photos and
thank you in advance Klondike for your fabulous work,
