2007 dates
The main Southern Hemisphere ride date is Saturday 10 March 2007.
In order to help encourage as many cities as possible to attend this event there will be two primary ride dates for the Northern Hemisphere ride in 2007: Saturday 9 June and Saturday 30 June.
The Black Rock City ride will, as usual, be during the Burning Man festival in late August.
Since this is an international event with the goal of being as inclusive as possible this website will help promote all WNBR rides regardless of the date a particular country or city chooses to ride on. However, ride locations are strongly encouraged to choose dates that are on, or as close as possible to, the agreed dates. This helps builds solidarity and creates a strong media presence.
Rides must also abide by some very simple requirements.
London
London has decided to ride on 9 June 2007.
Seattle
Seattle has some conflicts that it needs to consider for scheduling. This ride must not conflict with the Solstice Cyclists on the Saturday closest to Summer Solstice in June or Body Pride Ride which is the week after that. We also want to avoid conflict with any regional Burning Man events such as Critical Massive and Burn in the Forest (mid July) or the Seattle to Portland Ride (if possible). We also really enjoyed the Group Health Bicycle Saturday and Sundays event, which is only on select weekends. Also, if we schedule too late in the summer, it is harder for us to get access to the International Fountain at the Seattle Center. Hemp Ride is not a concern since it will always be scheduled around WNBR. It would also be good not to conflict with Bare Buns Fun Runs.
Miami
Miami Beach is riding on 9 June 2007.
Warm enough?
Early June is a little too cold for many North American cities. Brrr.
Both Ottawa and Chicago got freeze-out in 2006. It also normally rains in the early part of June in Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle.
That is why we will be adding a second ride date on about 30 June [2006/2007?], or close to then. If you think this date is still not warm enough, or it conflicts with another major event please email me at [email protected]. We would still like to keep all the rides as close together as possible.
If we are going to get all six billion people participating in WNBR we need to accommodate as many cities as possible.
