You know, with WNBR, I think that exhibitionists riding may be the exception, not the rule. I understand that Seattle is the original "home" of the WNBR, and it may be that some felt pressure to have a decent turnout of babes. So enter the exhibitionist and a ringer or two. But I've noticed with some other WNBR rides, the "talent" is fresh and not much different than what you'd get at a U of Vermont ride. Portland this year turned out over 500 people (at night) and it was a young, spontaneous group. I was really surprised to see the babes in Seattle gleefully posing for the cameras. They all seemed to. This isn't what I was lead to expect with this event.
Its nice to get such easy photo ops, but what i really wanted was the first timers like you mentioned - and I think at some other rides, that's primarily what you get. What I heard about the Portland ride made me want to do that one next year - just a crazy assed good time!
