The ride is `bare as you dare' --- we suggest body paint, but you are free to wear as much or as little as you want. Fancy dress, self-decoration and other attention-grabbers are all very much encouraged. See [http://nakedwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page#The_art_of_WNBR The Art of WNBR] for ideas on decorating yourself and your bike as well as lots of other background information.  Knowledge is power !

Want to ride naked but aren't sure ?  Get down to the local clothes-optional beach and get used to the idea of being nude outdoors and in public.  '''But remember --- it's bare as you dare.'''  You don't have to ride naked if you don't want to.

'''Make sure your bike is reliable'''.  There will be '''no''' back-up team.  If your bike lets you down, you're out of the event !  Sorry.  Consider getting the fancy puncture-resistant tyres;  they're expensive, but might save you on the day.  Don't just dig that old boneshaker out of the shed two days before the event and hope it will be alright.  It won't.  If you don't ride regularly, start now;  get to know your machine so that you're not worrying about it during the ride.

Ride reports

Byron Bay 2008

  • Date: Saturday 8 March 2008
  • Time: 2pm
  • Location: Outside the Travel Centre at the old Railway Station.

We had a blast and everyone enjoyed themselves. The townsfolk hooted and hollered and generally totally approved. The police (an inspector, no less) came at the start to warn us, but was very fair and we had quite a laugh. No problems there. 15 riders ranging from teenagers to one who was 89 years old enjoyed the ride. There was an even split between guys and gals, one lady was very memorable dressed only in a long string of pearls and a full length red chiffon cloak.
