Some more additions from me.

Am I overwhelmed and missing it, or is this the first we've seen her?

Here you go, Crispus. There were also a couple of her with one of the groups posing for the camera indoors in the watermarked going_digital gallery linked above.

and here's another rider I'm putting on my "Want list".....

I want more!!

KLondike

OK, I have some revised counts for both this year and last. Seems I had gone on counting last year after the 273 rider mark. I'm still finding new riders at a pretty good clip in 2010 so there will probably still be more:

2009: 301 female riders
2010: 309 female riders (still counting..)

Also, here are a few misc pics of mine.

Klondike

repeat rider (pics from 2010 and 2009).

Klondike

also, we have this repeat rider who I photographed extensively in 2009 (first pic). Where was she at Hale's THIS year? Avoiding me no doubt...

KLondike

and these are hot off the press - being uploaded to Flickr now as I post. Look for more..from Flickr user Bareranger.

some excellent pics that had some problems with exposure that I tried to correct somewhat before uploading.

Repeat rider??
 

OK, here is a riddle. I looked at that last pic above of the hot gold colored girl and how she is seated on her bike. That reminded me of my famous silver cyclist from 2006. See below. Is it possible it is the SAME GIRL?? I think it is. Not 100% sure, but the bods are very similar, the face has some resemblance, and of course, the way she is seated on that bike! Wow!

I give you both pics, first 2006 and then 2010. Same girl?

repeat riders start to pop up after you've looked over the pics for a while. They don't kick in the first few days...

Kondike

Fremont fans should pop over to Flikr and search for user 'Jim Dandy 2U', he has just put up some really hi-res shots. You can really see how cold it was for the girls!:D:D
Here is an example!!!! Hopefully, more will follow soon.

There are only 18 in that set; to find more before waiting to see if they'll make it to flickr, following links from there eventually leads to hxxp://www.natashareedgallery.com/Events/Fremont-Solstice-Parade-2010/ , where there are 404. Of course, since that set encompasses the whole parade, not all are of the cyclists, though about 60% are; not all the cyclists are women; thumbnails are square, as at flickr, while pictures are not, so if you only go by the smaller size you may miss details, usually at the sides; as with Pedro's example, the "o" sizes tend to be a little grainy for my taste, but the smugmug format allows more choices of larger sizes than flickr - usually the X3 seems best to me. Here three examples, the first at X2, the others at X3: a biker, and 2 bladers, the latter being "Rocket Girl," a repeater here and in the Body Pride segment of Seattle's Gay Pride parade, usually held a week after Fremont.

some nice hi res pics of the walkers.

Funny - the second pic IS right side up!

Klondike

...and.....i just had a flickr conversation with the well built guy in white. The girl on the left, the hottest girl in the whole parade is......his sister! (he said it would be "gross" to be her boyfriend :)) I think a few of us might disagree.....


Klondike

lets do the time warp....
 

while looking for Fremont 2010 pics, I came across these from 2005 and 2006. Some of these are great and the focus is on the main walkers that participated those years. The asian 2005 girl pics are tops - looks like some extensive outdoor posing went on during the event!

KLondike

the 2006 girl....

some misc pics from 2005 and 2006.

here's my favorite from the 2010 Parade :::::

After all , the Solstice Parade IS a celebration of the great Summer's outdoor creatures etc ......

your wilde beast .... bugs , squirrels , mosquitoes etc ... ( note - i didn't see anyone
dressed as a mosquito - - - maybe next year :)

wow that's a bit unusual, they must have been close when growing up.

A few new (and rare) ones here, I like the full breasted blue lady (where has she been hiding?) and am I alone in finding the thighs on the flesh/green/white shot haired blonde rather sexy?

Some strangers
 

These girls hardly ever appear in photos.

First we have painted blue dress girl, then blue/green skeleton girl, and finally impromptu helmet girl, who looks like she joined the parade at the last minute and just pulled her dress down.

my photostream just got buzzed by a Flickr user who uploaded a bunch of 2009 pics back in April. These are quite voyeuristic and would definately appeal to those that want to see it "all" :)

the user name is jonsnow9 if you care to see the rest, mostly butt shots and some close up P views..


Klondike

more. Klondike

Thanks Klondike .... your great to have on these forums - very helpful and willing to share your little tricks

:)

amid all the pics, hype and hoopla, I forgot to mention one very important item concerning this years ride:

I AM NOT IN ANY FLICKR PICS FOR THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW!!!

KLondike

You would stand a better chance if you were one of the riders - - :)

A few more painting party pics.

The rest.

carryover from Fremont?
 

One week after the Fremont Parade in Seattle is the Seattle Pride Parade. Now, I don't know of any pride parade that features fully nude cyclists. This appears to be "carryover" from the solstice cyclists. In fact full female nudity in any gay or lesbian event is very rare. So how many rode nude in this years event in Seattle? Not sure, but at least two. Go here (copyrighted) to see:

A larger and not watermarked shot of one of the riders. As I've remarked elsewhere, the cyclists here are somewhat of a hybrid of Fremont and WNBR, with frequent (and not necessarily lesbian) riders in those two often also showing up at the Pride Parade. One big plus of the access Cornicello has is that we see the participants on their pre-ride across Capitol Hill to the downtown Seattle parade site.

clickr73 has posted
 

Check out clickr73's photos at flickr. They are really really good, with many of our favourites like these.

I have to go to work now, so can't post any more.

pennywiseguy2

I can't seem to find that users profile, can someone post the link?

Yeah, he hides it from searches, no doubt to keep pervs like us away...for that reason, I'm not hot-linking, but I did look it up by backtracking from some of his last year's work: hxxp://www.flickr.com/photos/27228519@N02/ . Just to let you know, though, the first 3 pwg2 posted that I tried to find are listed as private, and though there are nice ones among what's not hidden as of this instant (see below), he seems also to be moving more shots from public to private even as we speak; get what you can while you can, those of you with fast connections!

Indeed that's exactly what's happening. However, some of his private photos do show up in the flickr groups later on, so it's not over yet.

I'll posted what I've snagged so far, trying to focus on girls that have caught our attention and/or been under-represented so far.

Here are some more. I'm in a bit of a rush to get this done so I don't have time to organize or comment, so they're in no particular order.

On that note, I probably shouldn't have buried the lead, but Pic 9 is one of the shots we've all been waiting for.

And that's it. What I've posted is by no means comprehensive but I think the rest of the shots wouldn't add much to what we already have here.

This guy is one of a handful of photographers that [edit: almost] compare to our own Klondike when it comes to getting good pictures of what we're all here to see.

I've been really looking forward to this, as I consider this to be the "main event" when it comes to pics. But I do not have any trouble calling up these pics. Its spelled "Clikr73", not "Clickr73" with an extra "c". The pics come up and are marked public for me, at least the ones I've checked so far. So I will try and snag everything just in case he does privatize them, then we'll see what else is worth putting up here. All this has just been posted recently, I gather, because I just checked his photostream the other day. Great stuff and I dunno, but maybe we were standing almost side by side here...:)

Klondike

OK, I've had a good look at this set and I am in awe of what Mr Clikr73 has been able to accomplish. Did you note he is really only posting the fully nude babes? I mean, imagine if he were to post all of his topless babes too, or maybe he only shot the full nudes. Anyway, he has shots of at least a half dozen women I HAVE NOT SEEN IN ANY OTHER SETS! And most of this was at Hale's too, where I was also.

So, but I am snagging the friends only pics now, so you needn't worry about that. BTW - he's got a Nikon D300, my first choice for a new camera last year but a bit too pricy. Its the ultimate for quality, though. He really made great use of his time too. My only complaint - sometimes the pics can all look a bit too much alike! I guess thats were he and I would differ the most. But again, he got the scoop on just about everyone, and to do it he seemed to have spent a lot of time standing in one place - right opposite the narrow entrance/exit to the protected area! This was THE place to be, and there was no place like this last year!

Has anybody got any photos of this young lady? She seems to have been invisible on the ride, despite being of college age and fully naked, except for her helmet. I hoped the great collection above would have something, but no luck. There seem to be a group of young ladies, with a similar theme of paint scheme.

Here's some
 

Hey Pedro, here's some that I found in my collection. Took me a while, as she rarely appears in collections.
