212 women so far
 

Thanks for keeing 'em coming, Bjcojak. Impressive output of high Q pics! And you're showing me some new women too, as I started doing a count like last year. So far, I'm up to 212 women riders. Last year, we topped out at 273 and the weather was a lot better. Anyone care to wager if this years total will beat that? I think it will be close, which is saying a lot considering how wet it was at times last Saturday.

EDIT: Here's a slightly more depressing thought: Last years Fremont thread topped out at 42 pages long. We are only up to 9 here. So like with the 2010 WNBR thread, we just don't seem to be putting the pics up like we used to. I don't think its a lack of web pics necessarily. I just don't think we have the surfer contributions here at OCC this spring. Event participation and pic taking is as strong as ever (weather problems aside). So maybe we're all getting a bit jaded....or its the economy, stupid.....

Klondike

Great job.
 

Realy this year's different Fremont solstice summer parade. Deart friend Klondike doing great job for us. very good. i hope, i must see more good photos of this parade.
Thanks a lot.

One of the interesting games you can play at Fremont is "spot the celeb". A celeb is any perennial rider, known exhibitionist, porn star, local newscaster in disguise, etc. LAst year, I found that Earth Friend Gen had slipped into the parade. Also, one year it was rumored that porn star Clair Robbins rode.

At any rate, these two riders are pretty well known. The first is a frequent naked rider up in Seattle who was well photographed at several rides last year. The second is the partner of Flickr user malecution, who shows up naked all over the northwest.

BTW - my count is up to about 240 now.

Klondike

I have noticed that too. Last year we had nearly equal numbers of painting party pics, ride pics, and end of ride pics. I unfortunately didn't make it to the end of the ride to get photos. Mainly over concern that the local police would be discouraging photography at Gasworks Park. Now looking back I should have made my way to the end of the ride, but hindsight is 20/20.

I did notice the normal amounts of photogs at the parade. So I'm not sure if in the coming days we would get more photos uploaded to flickr etc. I would have figured that the Galleries would have swelled given the dismal weather Saturday and even worse weather on Sunday in the Northwest. I'm not sure, but maybe the ride has become "mainstream" and not gathering as much attention, I seemed to notice that with the Bay to Breakers, and the WNBR too.

I maybe getting to much on the soapbox, but I for one to like to cover this Ride. Its easy going, photography is encouraged and everyone knows its when and where its going to happen. I would like to think that more people would be encouraged to take photos and post them. But as my friend said "I just didn't feel right taking pictures of them as they rode by..." Seriously? Maybe that is the documentor in me, I just shoot away at what happens in front of me.

This is one of those events that definately leans towards the exhibitionist end of the public nudity spectrum. No, its not Folsom Street Fair, but everyone knows they will be photographed. How could they not know? At Hales, they gave the girls being bodypainted more privacy this year, but you still have to walk to your bike, etc. From that point on, you will be photographed. Don't like it? Choose a nightime naked ride, or Burning Man or something. Think also about how much time and effort many put into their costumes and paint jobs. HOURS are spent on them, and do you think no one wants documentation of all that beauty? Of course they do!

So.....click away. Don't be intrusive, but don't leave your camera at home...

Klondike

Well i would normally post about 2 - 4 pages worth of pics as i have in the past, but unfortunately my hands are kind of tied atm.. which btw, can someone please do me a favor and zip what's been posted?, (as i did in most of last year's thread.)

Anyway, some fantastic snaps taken by both Klondike and bjcojak.
I congratulate both of you on an excellent harvest, and i'm sure i speak for everyone here.
:)

Hi Sal32 - I was just thinking about how much you had contributed to past Fremont threads, and I was kind of missing that. Hope all is well. Maybe someone can do some zips.

Getting back, though, to my conversation with Bjcojak - I was going to add that because of the weather, parking in the Fremont district on Saturday was so much easier than in previous years. I didn't head up into the thick of the crowd, but I'll bet attendance was off nearly 50%. Thats a lot fewer pics....

Klondike

truly great posts guys....thank you all!

Just a big thanks to all the snappers here, I am in a state of shock over the quality of riders and photos!

I thought the ride was next week:o, so catching up on the WNBR and Fremont in one hit is making my head spin!!! Great stuff, here's to the girls and there 'goosebumps', all captured on HQ digital shots!!

Cheers Klondike and bjcojak
 

I concur. We really appreciate your efforts Klondike and bjcojak. Top quality. Out of interest, what lenses did you use? A 'walkaround' type, such as 17-135mm, or multiple lenses?

Anyway, I am in 'collect' mode at the moment. So far I have 1500 images in my Fremont 2010 folder; a total of 3.81GB (including your images), and I will start posting my faves in a day or so. In the meantime, these two girls are driving me crazy. Does anyone have some (more) good frontals?

pennywiseguy2

What a cute girl...i would like to see more of her!

I use a 28-135mm lens. Good workhourse....

Glad to have you posting pics, P (although you put up two of mine there), but hey, I like that girl too. Here's one more and I got quite lucky with these girls, so there are more still.

My count total for female riders is now at 250 (topless or fully nude) and I'm still picking up new ones at a good clip.

Klondike

28-135mm... I think my bro just bought one of those, so I might have a play before a purchase. Cheers

I posted your pics to keep all of the magic of those two girls together in one post. Haha. Here's one more. Can't wait to see the others you have.

pennywiseguy2

If you (or Klondike, or anyone) have or can find any more of "Inner Tube Girl", please post.

Thanks

Fango

Here's one
 

pennywiseguy2

I was getting around to it. there were at least two inner tube girls....

I've got some more..

Klondike

Great, can't wait to see the others.

Thanks

Fango

Klondike, you're great!!
These pics are fantastic!!!
I love the red stripes girl: nice body, nice face, nice bush revealing ...
Thanks

I do have these two. Sorry they're so small, especially since I share your penchant for big'uns, but they were taken inside the "restricted" zone, where I'm guessing the bigger your camera, the quicker your escorted exit! Speaking of those who carry the "cannons," have we perhaps immortalized the elusive Klondike somewhere here in the third shot?

Great pics! I nominate the second one for best pic of the ride, even with the small size and poor lighting. That girl on the left looks so great full frontal - I have so many pics of her but mostly she is turned a bit from the camera and her awesome shape is not quite in evidence.

And as for am I in any pics? :) Not that I've seen yet.....

KLondike

I'll keep posting more of mine to kind of pic up the slack until Pennywiseguy2 really gets going with his finds, right P?

all from Hales...including a few gems that i had neglected earlier.

babes everywhere you look....

Klondike

I was using my 75-300mm beercan lens. Couldn't get as wide but it has a better focus and is sharper than my 18-70mm. I'll look to post some more tonight.

Joeholla at Flickr has a nice collection of Fremont photos.The file contains about 18 pages,
with the first 7 or 8 pages devoted to the bikers. I'll post a few samples of Joeholla's stuff.

More from Joeholla at Flickr.

From Joeholla

The lady in the gold body paint looks good coming and going.
In my opinion, that is a world class ass.

More Joeholla.

In the later photos that were more parade oriented were a few pictures of this naked woman.
She was, apparently, just wandering around among the parade groups, if I am interpreting the
picture context correctly. In the last picture, she is getting a minimum paint treatment. Curious.

I can't help but think that she would be ecstatic if she knew her naked pictures were being posted.

that is a nice ass. And I think it also belongs to the woman in red from 2006. Same girl, I believe.

KLondike

I'm confused. Is my flickr broken? If I look at DavinS06's photostream, the last photo I see is from Jun 12, 2010. If I look at Joeholla's, the last photo is from May 25, 2010. Am I somehow braindead with flickr tonight? I'm logged in (but I have a basic account), though I can't imagine that makes a difference.

Great eye, Klondike! Recognizing "old friends" among the new pics adds to the fun of this thread.

All I can say is that the last pic marked safe content that I posted was on June 12th. Everything after that was marked restricted. So......are you just not seeing the restricted content? Do you have safe search on or off?

Klondike

Ahhh, safesearch. That was it. Thanks!

I'm quite fond of these two.

Some pics from inside the painting party, and a couple more outside, including some participants who like being photographed, and others who don't like it so much.

Curious...here are some more, happier posers, I assume by the same photographer as flanker7's just now: they're in a set at flickr, but with picture names there the same as in those above; the flickr set, though, doesn't have most of the ones above, and are only 768x1024. Were these, perhaps, also where those above were found, and if bigger size, at better resolution too? Interesting as well that the files for these are so much bigger than the larger-picture versions...

OMG!!! That little blonde in pink and yellow!!! Nurse, fetch a cloth!!!!!!!:eek:

I got those off picasa, and no there weren't any other pics, so maybe this was just coincidence?

Gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.com/10363912...eCyclists2010#

Edit: No, there are definitely some of the same pics in both galleries, so either it's the same user uploading to two different sites or the flickr user is compiling webfinds...

With all credit to Crispus for finding that set, I'm just going to go ahead and post a couple more from it that I think everyone will like.

The first pic will break your heart. But for a little focus problem it could have been our #1 pic so far.

Pic 3 has Pedro's yellow & pink girl from the reverse angle.

Enjoy the rest.
