Fremont 2016

[Fox Mulder]

This is an old friend of mine I hung out with in the 80s, who did the 2016 ride. I was thrilled to find these Fremont pics of her, still lovely in her late 50s. When I knew her, in her 20s, she was an absolutely gorgeous adventurer with long legs and flaming red hair...sigh! That's how she looked and how she lived in my head for decades. Now, finding these pics many years and three kids later, is bittersweet...but mostly sweet. What turns me on is not the minor nudity, but the same old grin and the fire of a new adventure in her eyes. She's having fun! I assume there more pics of her on this ride somewhere, but I haven't found them. The non yellow pic comes from social media. The pics I have of her in the 80s are, well, just for me.

Willie, 2016 was the year the entire thread was deleted due to an admin issue. IIRC correctly you uploaded a ton of pics yourself to the original thread, and then when the thread was re-started a number of users just uploaded everything they'd saved, in attempt to salvage what was lost--including your pics. While I understand it's annoying not to have your contributions acknowledged, I'm sure no slight was intended.

Flanker is dead on. I had all mine sorted by color and lost the credits to who took what. Willie and I messaged about this in another thread a year or two ago…remember Willie?
My apologies tho Willie and thank you for all you do!!!

Credit to user nfcdsad who found a new album in the Fremont 2024 thread. The Flickr user in question has Fremont albums from 2015-2024!

Here's the 2016 album:

There's some probably-not-seen-on-OCC pictures there, including a new rear view photo of one of my favorite riders!

As I mentioned in the 2015 thread and the All Time Favorite thread, I found a lot of photos that are currently private and only available inside non-Fremont Flickr groups right now, and I'm just going to post them all, rather than checking for each one whether it's truly new.

I'm not sure it was worth the time, because by the end, I was only finding near-duplicates and out of focus shots, but I ended up searching more than 20 other Flickr groups. After I was all done, here's what I had for Fremont 2015. Most of them ended up being Fremont 2016 or Philly WNBR, so I'll post those later.

manyaramoshi is in more groups than I care to count, and I didn't check all of them. I did check all the groups that have more than 5000 pics in them, and a lot that have only a few hundred pics. I won't stop you if you want to keep digging, but I don't think there's much more there.

It may turn out that a lot of these (which I'm posting in other threads) aren't actually "new". But I'm pretty sure they're all "private" now and that's something that's easy to check. Comparing against every pic ever posted on these threads is not.

So here's the first batch for 2016. I'll zip up the rest because it's a lot.

The rest.
