I only included that one pic of yours to underscore my point about regular riders returning, and your photo of that handsome woman was at that point in time the only photo available which hadn't already been linked to in this thread.

There's also a rule about posting cropped watermarked photos.

The watermarks would be fine as long as hunter_usa2003 gave permission to post them.

Managed to make the mad dash from Marble Arch to the South side of the Thames on Westminster Bridge.

Check out my blog for part 3 which has 108 images (link in signature)

Shame, but Brighton ride had crappy weather today. It rained until about 30 mins before the start then was chilly and windy all through. It was a 'bit' better by the beach party but nipples were pointy and balls were shrunken all over.

Still managed about 275 riders and of those about 20% female. I will link my flickr page as usual once I've watermarked my pics and cleared out the duffers.

Some great girls so far this year. I really like the cutie from San Francisco and the tall redhead from London (can't wait to see your video of her, Danzo!).

Attached is another cute girl from London. I think this is the only pic I've seen of her, but I'd definitely like to see more.

A couple videos:

Thanks/Enjoy

The organisers say there were about 500 riders, but not all of them completed the whole course. Perhaps a lot of them couldn't take the chilly breeze for more than the first stage.

Forget about ratios, there were good numbers of young, pretty, accommodating female participants, including many from last year. The two "Nude Flash" curvy blondes with flowers on their boobs and moneybelts covering their modesty, who ducked outside the enclosure to pose with a couple of policemen. The "Norway" girls - one tall Nordic specimen and her petite very-fair-haired friend. The red-headed hefty "Victim Support" girls who kept their knickers on at all the stops but peeled them off just before getting back on their bikes. The gorgeous girl with the shell-bra (which to my knowledge never came off). The "Now you see us" naked blonde with eyes on her prize. The well-endowed "One Less Car" girls who kept their floral knickers on as they bounced through the ride. The unadorned topless pair of girls posing with guy after guy at the north side of the Steine. The beautiful curly-haired freckled blonde with a gappy smile, boobs peeking out of her jacket (oh, for a good picture of her!). And those were just the most memorable ones to me, yet still I am spotting girls in the photographs you guys are posting that I somehow contrived to completely miss!

The organisers were big this year on people asking permission for close-up photos. I heard a lot of girls declining photographs when asked. I didn't get refused but I only pushed my luck a couple of times. There's no point posting any of the pictures I did take, everyone else's are so much better quality. I stopped thinking about pics at the end and just concentrated on enjoying myself.

There was dancing at Hove Lawns, dancing at the Steine, there was some topless dancing at the afterparty too. The only significant element missing this year was the beach party - there were only a handful of skinnydippers at Black Rock Beach. No-one bothered walking all the way across to the nude beach this year, as the whole beach was otherwise empty - just the riders and the zombie paparazzi herd. Unfortunately because of the chilly breeze, most of the cuties dressed very quickly and went straight home, but bravo to the ones who went in, braving two seas, one of huge foaming waves, the other of hand-held recording devices.

I am sure there are a mountain's worth of beautiful pictures still to emerge from this event. Most of the population of Brighton must have some in their phones by now!

Lowest since 2012, but the standard of the participants and the effort they made went a long way to making up for the smaller numbers.

Seems I've attained a certain amount of minor notoriety because I post on here I was also accused to being in possession of an 'intrusive lens' while attempting to take the picture of a WNBR flag This ludicrous militant old trout was even worse than that one in 2014. She constantly broke the law by preventing people from exercising their legal right to take photos in a public place - which is harassment. Talk about bloody hypocrisy The only people who came out from the enclosure (where all sorts of dodgy doings were going on) were those happy to be snapped. But this ridiculous woman constantly made a pain in the arse of herself. This is the sort of thing that's killing WNBR, not a few pervs with iPhones.

Ride was decent all things considered. The riders were almost entirely friendly. Says it all that there was a party atmosphere at Old Steine - with no barriers, no stewards trying to stop people taking pics. Overwhelmingly positive response from the participants, as ever. Light, however, was awful so I'm not expecting much from what I took.

A fair few regulars were missing. The awful start will have put a lot off. Not many braved the sea at the end and those that did got bowled over by the crashing waves.

Overall, as per London, it was far from a classic ride but much better than it could have been if the awful weather had persisted.

Someone obviously keeps on eye on the WNBR threads here (for research purposes, no doubt ). Frankly, I couldn't give a monkeys if they think I'm perv - hypocrisy is rife.

I believe that I saw you having your long discussion with said lady, you were just in front of the main crowd and directly in front of the entrance to the enclosed area, I could not believe that she was stopping you from taking pics from outside the enclosure and at some distance away as well. At least once the ride left the park it was business as normal and most of the ladies were more than happy to have their picture taken. (ghpartypics)

It was totally bizarre - she was trying to stop me taking a picture of the orange WNBR flag on the back of a clothed steward's bike. Said steward was outside the painting area. At that stage there was no other participants there. She then tried to harangue me into getting a press pass and going inside the painting area to take pictures I personally consider that area off limits as the ride isn't underway at that point.

I was talking to a freelance press snapper who said WNBR Brighton is heading the way of many (non-nude) events and the heavy handed attitude of certain so-called official people connected to the ride is losing them a lot of friends in the media. They'll be happy the year absolutely no one turns up to cover the ride.

I spoke to main organiser Nick Sayers and explained why I post on here. The WNBR threads on this forum remain the best source for unbiased information re the UK rides. So it's a porn forum - no one involved with these bikes rides has ever looked at a bit of porn, I'm sure Could you imagine this sort of utterly ludicrous situation at any other event? It's nothing to do with the riders. Myself and my snapping buddy found the participants great fun and perfectly happy to be photographed - they wouldn't be taking part if they weren't. A little bit of respect goes a long way.

As ever, I would always be more than happy for anyone I snapped to see the pictures I took. For me, these rides are just fun events, the nudity is pretty much irrelevant. I know there's interest in the rides from people who enjoy seeing naked people - it's laughable for some folks to pretend otherwise.

Meanwhile, as serious snappers were being harassed, you had obvious pervs getting up to see sorts of things. The notorious 'Mr Cloth' was there and getting spoken to by the police for his inappropriate behaviour - and allowed to remain on the ride One tourist was seen holding a guy's penis while a friend photographed him. One guy was spotted by someone I spoke to later giving another guy a hand job in the painting area, albeit discretely. Various of the well known pervsters such as Mr Willy Scaffold were there with their point and shoots with no one taking any notice of them because they had their bits out. Mr Folding Bike, previously banned from every ride in the UK, now seems to be an accepted part of all the rides, despite his long history of making crude and inappropriate comments to women. The list goes on.

Despite all this and foul weather, it didn't spoil the day and I was glad I decided to do both London and Brighton this year, after at first thinking I wouldn't. Despite the madness, the London stewards are very professional and sensible in their approach and do a great job. Brighton is a little clique and while most stewards are fine, they always manage to find one or two who behave ridiculously. I would definitely have been more forthright and probably involved the police if faced with someone repeatedly obstructing me from going about my lawful business at any other event. As it was, I knew that that vast majority of my shots would come with the ride underway and at the end of the day, the one and only picture I was prevented from taking was of a flag, and mine being CC usually end up in various media sources reporting on the ride, so it's just a little less publicity for their cause.
