One of the best 5-day trial memberships I've signed up for! LOL

But other than the UK rides I find it really tough to find pics from any major cities which is a shame. Toronto this year seems to be well represented online which is great but it's too bad that the ride seems to be heading in a different direction... the same group of nudists show up every year and most of the pictures easily found online are of naked men. Nice to see lots of pictures of the few women who attended this year though. But I wish more girls would turn out The last Toronto ride where a bunch of young women showed up was 2008 but pictures are hard really hard to come by.

Portland is actually the biggest by far, but sadly too few photos. Klondike has mentioned previously that the riders are somewhat hostile to non-riding photographers.

A nice candid from Montpelier, one from Brighton, a few from London, and finally two from Toronto.

A few more from London...

Apologies for any re-posts! I have a feeling with how fast pics are starting to pop up on here and Flicr there's bound to be a few repeats... I had two I was going to upload that Flanker just added! LOL

Sorry folks. I got carried away trying too upload to much at one time, realized I had some watermarked photos posted and than tried to edit things before the 15 minute time period expired while uploading others. You ended up with nothing.

Mods, can someone please delete my previous empty threads and I'll do this again one at a time. First up: New Orleans.

I was stood in the crowd near the start of the ride as they emerged from Hyde Park. The young lady on a "Boris Bike" showed up a little late and had difficulty getting through the crowd to join the othe riders. She shouted out "if I take all my clothes off, will you let me through?". There was a broad consensus that this was an acceptable exchange. She duly stripped and joined the ride. Here are some images of this episode. Hope they're OK.

Some more Canadian content! First pics from Montreal I've seen from this years ride.

Just a couple of original shots from me to start, from the 'chilly' Friday evening ride (14C with showers) in Southampton.


Despite the weather, we had a similar number of riders to previous years with about 100-120 in total. Of that, I counted about 8-9 fully nude females, if you include the full breasted young lady here who wore a home made floral 'pussy patch', which she was convinced she would lose in the first few minutes......alas, it lasted the whole ride Plenty more shots to come, but I am off to the beach to warm up!

Another few pics as she sets off with the ride. What a brave and admirable young lady. Well done to her !

And if anyone comes across what they think may be this girl from the Montreal ride in their searches please post more. I'm intrigued. She didn't pose in the group photo but probably rode in the event given what she's wearing. (credit goes to Flicker user LapriZ for all the Montreal pics).

The London 2011 event was first WNBR event I’ve witnessed. Fantastic – I think I may ride it next year, as my overriding impression was just how much fun everyone on a bike was having. Given the weather forecast a couple of days earlier, it was a remarkably pleasant temperature, mostly sunshine.
I learnt a lot about where to stand – and unfortunately where not to stand, to get good shots. Still trying to work out if it’s possible to be at the start, the finish and two other locations (e.g. the bridge crossings) in order to get maximum number of shots. Would welcome anybody else’s experience on this matter. The riders took a lot longer to get around than I’d expected so this gives me hope that it is possible to catch them at a number of different locations in future years.

At the end I stood by Buckingham Palace and tried a bit of video, which I’ll post soon. In the meantime, here are a few captures of an entertaining incident where three brave riders attempted nude shots outside of the Palace gates. The policeman on guard obviously told them to go away – so not sure if they managed to get any shots in (I do hope so). Anyway, I managed to capture some of this. Well done to the three of them – very brave.

BTW, 11th June is the Queen’s ‘official birthday’ so there had been major ceremonials earlier in the day, hence all the flags. I wonder if Her Majesty got a glimpse of the WNBR from the Palace?
