The 2015 Fremont Solstice Fair and Parade is this Saturday and Sunday, June 20th-21st. The schedule for the naked cyclists seems little changed from last year. Riders will assemble at CSR Marine for body painting in the AM, then hit the streets around 2PM. After riding around for a bit to get warmed up and photographed somewhere en masse, they will formally enter the parade route at 2:30 to 3:00. From there its an easy jaunt down to Gaswork Park where hopefully, the sun will be shining as in the past two years!
Here is a brief recap of the rules regarding photography and etiquette: At the painting party, only a few designated (badged) photographers will be allowed to take pics although riders can also shoot pics of their friends with their consent. Video is not permitted.
At Gaswork Park and along the parade route, be respectful and don't intrude on the riders space. It would be best if you shoot with the idea of showing the world what a great time everyone is having rather than focusing on individual body parts. The riders will mostly be OK with being photographed and the solstice cyclists website every year urges riders who do not want their pics on the internet to stay home. Enough said!
So have a great time everyone whether you chose to shoot or not! If you chose to shoot, good luck and put 'em here! I expect another great Fremont Parade and so I eagerly await another great OCC thread!
EDIT: Oh, and I almost forgot. Weather is iffy with sprinkles for Friday, partly cloudy for Saturday and Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed but I doubt that it will rain!
