WNBR 2014

Might I also add that portland has scheduled FOUR naked day rides in June, one each Saturday! This is also unprec
edented as there have never been more than two. Add to that a wet-T shirt ride, a bikini ride, a lingerie ride......

All I a can say is wow!

Congratulations Klondike !!!!

It sounds like you woke up one morning and found that, ironically, YOU are living in NBR Heaven. !!!

It's got to be some kind of destiny or Karma thing for you. !!!

Although, the one day may be full of challenging dilemmas as you try and decide which event to cover.

Aren't you glad that they didn't pick the Fremont Solstice date to also do this?

Hope you have a blast, and I am sure I am far from alone in not being able to wait to see the great shots we all know you'll get.

Best of luck to you, IrishBoy, and the other great Northwest snappers. Just be carefull you don't OD on all those naked babes on bikes.

After a little more research (sadly), I came to this conclusion: a) I doubt I will get many pics and b) the extra day rides this Saturday seem likely to consist of just a few hardy male souls trying to do a 100k naked ride (the first ever anywhere that I know of). Will any women try this? Good question. We are talking about 12 hours of continuous nudity on bikes here....!

Also, I see some indications that photography is less welcome this year..

A tweet confirming, as widely expected, swarms of Asians (mostly students) all over the place.
By the looks of it, a dud in the making... just hoping better pics surface by tomorrow to prove me wrong.

Not quite.
Me thinks she rode again (just just at the end of the first short clip)!

I didn't find either unsafe, but in case anyone's concerned, here they are as zippy files: http://www54.zippyshare.com/v/10051641/file.html

(I titled the second as possibly Manchester but also possibly Portsmouth, based on a comment at the site and my ignorance of the respective local geographies)...

Perfect weather at Manchester, very warm & sun was shining. About 200 riders turned up, including lots of very pretty girls.

BUT.... there were hundreds, maybe over a thousand students - all Chinese - at the start who just crowded round the riders in one big circle (6 or 7 rows deep) and hemmed them all in without any consideration of the riders - all with smartphones and getting in each others way to make sure they were at the front!

Most of the girls looked overawed & intimidated and some looked like they were going to leave before it even began! Luckily they egged each other on, and stayed, awkwardly tryng to put bodypaint on by gathering in a tight pack to try avoid being hassled. A few riders stayed dressed rather than strip off in front of the baying crowds.

Even being there it was pretty much impossible to see what was going on... let alone get any pics! Still, did try to get some pics, but just ended up being pushed as soon as lined up a shot, or images of shoulders & bloomin' samsung smartphones in the way - in every shot

The organisers were great, and accepted that everyone was free to take pics, but constantly had to plead for the crowd to move back and make some space - which they didn't! I really sympathise with the organisers, as the crowd pretty much caused complete chaos & could have spoilt a great ride. The riders even had to force their way past just to get the ride underway. i saw a couple of the male riders that frustrated it looked like they deliberately tried to push their bike into the crowd who wouldn't budge for fear of no longer being at the front.

I heard the ride went well, so hopefully that's what Manchester ride will be remembered for, and not the chaos caused by the crowds.

From Flickr, I don't think that they have been posted.
They have watermarks.

Going to be out of town and will miss Portland for the first time in 3 years. It is a pretty amazing event. Don't let me down OCC, I want to scour all your pics for a familiar face!
