These shots were taken at the after ride party (I could not take many pictures on the ride itself, as I was concentating on my bike), which took place at the local public nudist beach, in Brighton. There were a few beach users (mainly single men)already there, who were very pleased to be joined by about 100 cyclists, including several nice young ladies!
The day was hot, but overcast and many riders who rode topless or in costumes took the advantage of a quick fully naked dip to wash off the body paint and chill out 'au natural' on the beach. Several riders then went off (via train) to the London ride, that took place later in the day.
As this event is now a week later in 2008, hopefully a lot of London riders will make the easy train journey to Brighton to swell the riders ranks even more. As 2007 was the first year of full nudity (new police chief) being allowed, the nudity level may well be higher this year too.
