History
The World Naked Bike Ride is a really comfortable fit for Burning Man. Our inaugural ride was in 2004 with approximately 100 participants. The course ran throughout Black Rock City, and eventually out to the Greeter Gate to welcome people who were just arriving on the playa.
A bunch of naked cyclists riding through a major urban area is pretty provocative, but at Burning Man it’s not that unusual. So in an effort to put an unique spin on our ride in 2005, we added a pub-crawl element. Various camps volunteered to bartend for us when we stopped by, offering free cocktails, water, and sports drinks along the route. Participation our second year increased to approximately 200 riders.
The 2006 ride had around 250 riders. Five camps hosted us for cocktail stops and water breaks along the route: Our Lady of Schlong, La Dolce Vita, Hot WheelZ, Comfort & Joy, and Vamp Camp. Comfort & Joy really stepped up with 15 bartenders and waiters wearing nothing but bowties; the DJ wore a hat... and probably sunscreen. Our final host camp was Vamp Camp, which had a huge misting tent set up to cool the riders off. Awesome.
After leaving Vamp Camp, we rode over to The Deep End for the after-party. The Deep End is a big dance camp where we had finished the 2005 ride the year before. Prior to reaching The Deep End, we encountered a camp with a huge slip-and-slide, so we took over the place for a half hour of suicidal slipping and sliding. It was a great day!
The 2007 ride had four host camps: Our Lady of Schlong (these guys are great - they've been with us since the beginning), Barbie Death Camp and Wine Bistro, Sagrada, and Comfort & Joy. Once again we had great weather, no dust, cold cocktails, and an army of participants.
2008 was the 5th anniversary of the BRC World Naked Bike Ride and Pub Crawl, and the ride was bigger than ever. Our host camps were Home, Comfort & Joy, Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro, Damn Dirty Texans (non-alcoholic water break), Treasury Department, Celestial Bodies, Black Rock Lemonade (non-alcoholic re-hydration stop), and A Bordello of Dust.
The 2009 ride was, well, huge. We had cocktails stops at Garden of DeLights, Barbie Death Camp and Wine Bistro, Evilution, Celestial Bodies, and Comfort & Joy. We also stopped off at Northwest Mist for some trampoline jumping and cooling off in their massive misting tent. Later on we stopped off at The Duck Pond for some impromptu slip-n-slide action. Total blast.
The 2010 ride is on! If you find yourself on the playa this year and you're willing to meet the dress code, meet us at The Man at 11:00 am on Wednesday, 9/1/10.
Cheers!
