For anyone who is planning on participating in the ride, you can come and learn more about what this is all about, get any questions answered, get some bodypainting/costuming/signage ideas, and just make sure you're on the same page with everyone else before the ride. Some folks from CopWatch will also be doing a Know-Your-Rights training so that people will know what to do should there be any encounters with law enforcement.

Sat 14 June 2008: There was a Naked Bike Ride in Boulder that many Denverites participated in (after all, there's nothing that says you can't participate in two WNBRs in one year!).

6 June 2008: We had a precursor to the actual ride, which involved no actual nudity, but rather all three participants getting as creatively and colorfully body-painted as possible and otherwise body-arted and costumed up for the first "Almost Naked" Painted Bike Ride! The purpose of this ride was to: 1. do something in solidarity with most of the other Northern Hemisphere cities who did their rides that weekend, since we ended up pushing the date of our actual ride way back, 2. do something a little more exciting than flyering to get the word out about the actual ride, and 3. get in gear for the actual ride while having fun! Despite the low turn-out (probably due to last-minute publicity), it went over well enough that it's something we may use again next year (except bigger this time).

History

2007

Notes posted prior to the 2007 ride, which went off as planned:

We will have a kick-off/prep session for the ride between 6:30 and 8:00pm at the residence of one of the riders and will start from there, but to get to the location of the kick-off, participants will need to check in at a nearby checkpoint, which will be in Cheesman Park between 6:30 and 7:45, probably at the pavilion. The ride itself will probably kick off around 8pm
This will be the very first WNBR for Denver, although rides have taken place in Boulder for the last three years.
