List of rides > Australia > Nimbin
Contents
Next ride
Date: Saturday 7 March 2009
Time: 10:30 am
Location: Peace Park, central Nimbin
Ride details
The ride will occur Saturday the 7th of March 2009. Assemble at Peace Park, central Nimbim at 10:30am. Organisers will lead the riders to a secret place for de-briefing and body painting. The ride is clothing optional so you can choose how much or how little you want to wear.
Some bikes will be available to borrow for the ride if you are a backpacker or out-of-town visitor but the number of bikes is limited. Bring your own bike if you are a local to guarantee you can join the ride.
A nurse will be coming on the ride who will perform first aid if anyone suffers a mishap.
Body painting
We will endeavour to protect the environment as much as we can. To further this, please consider bringing local river ochres for use as body paint if you can.
After ride party
There is an after ride party being organised for participants who have completed the ride. After the ride, we will return to the starting location to get cleaned up.
We expect to have some musicians to entertain us, and some food and drink. It will be easier if we bring our own goodies, but we will sell 'tickets' at Peace Park for sausage sandwiches for those so inclined. We could possibly also get 'notdogs' or the like as well. The food will then be bought in town and taken to the party site. Beer consortiums could also be formed at this time, and a similar methods used. A little bit of planning here can make it a much nicer day.
The owners of our venue have agreed that the after-party can continue with the clothes-optional theme.
The venue has a swimming pool that will be available for our enjoyment, but users will have to first have cleaned off their body paint. Showers will also be available.
Yay !
Warnings
We are not supplying alcohol - you are. Please keep the drinking etc until after the ride for a better time for all. Cycling while under the influence of alcohol can certainly get you arrested, and your driving license may be at risk.
What to bring
- A bike in working order. If you have a bike in need of repair or do not have a bike please visit the Bicycle Recycling Network. A limited number of bikes will be available to borrow for the ride so it is best to avoid disappointment and bring your own. You can ride a scooter or skates if you want to because any form of human powered transport is OK.
- You MUST have a proper bike helmet.
- Bring your friends.
- You need to arrive clothed. Seriously, some people have not done this.
- You need decent shoes for cycling because you may hurt your feet otherwise.
- You need somewhere to put your clothes while you are riding. A luggage rack on your bike, or panniers or a basket that you can put your bag with your clothes. Clothing is optional on the ride and you are perfectly welcome to ride clothed or naked or somewhere in between.
- Apply sunscreen before the event.
- River ochres for body painting to save the environment.
- Bring a bottle of water.
- Bring some money for the after party or bring your own food and drink.
What not to bring
- Alcohol or drugs. Ride in control and safe. Save your alcohol consumption for the after party.
The Brisilian Triangle
Byron Bay rides on Saturday the 14th of March 2009 and Brisbane rides on Saturday the 21st of March 2009. Byron Bay and Brisbane are within commuting distance of Nimbin so keen participants can ride in all 3 of these places.
Organiser
Media enquiries for Nimbin: please contact Jacmul the WNBR Nimbin Organiser.
