It's too bad the women out here don't look as good as they do in Los Angeles and Orange County in California where I lived my entire life. Oh well.
If you are naked AND young (i.e. you look like everyone else riding) you can get by taking pics with a cell or other small camera. I don't think anyone will hassle you. But a large DSLR - even if you are naked and young I could see some problems. Not as likely as if you are old and clothed, but still, be very cautious.

But it will be dark once the ride begins, so consider that also.

Actually though, last year some larger cameras were about at the art museum. It seems that lately, group pics are becoming more common at the front end of the ride, and some picture taking seems to be tolerated. But that applies to the posed exhibitionists more than the regular riders.

Good luck. I hope to be there, and the Portland women suit me fine
