The Portland WNBR is notorious for being anti-photographer. The ones who seem to be ok with being photographed are in the minority by far. Most of the ride occurs at twilight or after dark, the photos you see of afternoon pre-gamers are the few bold enough to appear nude in public and, sure, I guess they're more likely to pose for pics. This was also a year of poor showings in London and Brighton, and there is the ongoing trend of these pictures being circulated online for years after the ride takes place, means women are less likely to participate in general. Or at least that's the feedback I've heard from them.
