[Pedro the Fisherman]

Waded through a mere 100 'lavendars', to find these, just about worth it, but the ratio (On the internet) is mathematicaly curious. Why should I (we) have to wade?

I know what you mean, this event appeals to gay men as much as us here, it is just that gay men seem to post at Flikr more than the thousands of snappers (the sheer quantity is appalling in London) who shoot the ladies.....and them keep them to themselves.


Well, for the next week or so, I am going to be uploading shots taken by my 'very good friend' Saddlesore who rode at Brighton and Southampton.

I put up some of his shots as tasters before, but (in answer to the mighty Fremont posting), I think the Brits have to uphold their honour (notice the spelling guys), so you will be getting quite a few more. Some will be seen another (pay) site, with watermarks, but others will be EXCLUSIVELY posted at OCC.

Let us start at Southampton ( a seafaring city on the south coast of the UK, famous for once being the centre of trans-atlantic crossing with ships like the QE2 and Titanic), a small ride (by 2009 standards), but a ride that draws plenty of riders from the local university, the campus of which, is just across the road from the start.

The ride kicks off the WNBR weekend, by riding at 18.30 on the Friday evening. The cooler weather seen (and felt) that day, meant that the ride 'only' attracted 150 riders, just a few up on last year. As clothes optional, many riders chose not to ride fully naked, however, I have seen more than one post by young ladies on Facebook for this ride saying Awesome ride! next year i promise to go all the way. no bikinis!! and im gonna force my friends to do it!! cant wait!

Here's hoping they keep their promise and 2010 will be even better.

Here are the first shots (please remember that the 'tasters' may be re-posted, as I am just going through a set, that have since been edited and maybe cropped).

ALL shots are free from 'male only' riders, but you are bound to have the odd penis or too showing up, on this type of event.

P.S. If you like putting 'names to titties...sorry faces', here is link to the local newspaper article, where the three students riding together are given a namecheck! It also includes a small video.
