==Ride Details==
 
−
The southern hemisphere ride date traditionally falls on the second Saturday in March each year. In 2011 this is Saturday the 12th of March. No ride is planned for 2011 (see planning below).

−
If an official ride does not go ahead in Brisbane in 2011, please consider going to [[Nimbin]] and/or [[Byron Bay]] rides. [[Nimbin]] and [[Byron Bay]] are within commuting distance of Brisbane. Practice has been to have these rides staggered to allow keen participants to ride in both these places. If a Brisbane ride does happen it may be possible to ride in all 3 places over consecutive weekends.<br>

The role of Organiser in Brisbane is currently vacant. Until a new Organiser is found, there is no prospect for a future ride in Brisbane. If you are keen to see a ride happen in Brisbane you need to volunteer as an Organiser. Please refer to the [[Organizing a ride in Australia]] page to volunteer. <br>

There have been a number of personalities who have volunteered to organise a WNBR in Brisbane over the years since 2004.  
 
  
−
===Tim / Andre===
 
−
There was a person went by the name of Tim who also went by the name Andre who used the following email addresses: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] . Through an email to one of the WNBR Yahoo! groups, Tim passed the message that [[Tweed Heads]] held a WNBR in 2004. No one else has verified the information and no photos of the alleged ride exist. Tim was involved with WNBR Brisbane through a Yahoo! group he set up for WNBR Brisbane and his appointment as an Organiser was without apparent support from any peers. He may well have been self appointed or appointed on the alleged authority of an overseas WNBR person. In any case Tim/Andre tried on his own to organise rides in 2005 and 2006, publicised only through the Yahoo! group that saw a confused handful of people turn up to the assembly place who later complained that they did not find Tim/Andre. Disappointed riders and press stood around looking at each other for a while before they all went home. No one knows what Tim/Andre looks like. In late 2006, Tim/Andre announced that he was leaving Brisbane to reside a long way away. Tim/Andre was asked by the Australian Coordinator to transfer the Yahoo! group he had set up to the Australian Coordinator for continuity and for the purpose of handing moderator functions to a new Organiser, should one be found. Tim/ Andre was very possessive and reluctant to help and he reasoned that he should find and select a replacement for himself as he was qualified by virtue of being from Brisbane (even if he was no longer living in Brisbane). Eventually, Tim/Andre was convinced to hand over the Yahoo! group he had established on the condition that ownership was transferred to Dario Western who resides in Brisbane. The whole process was very compromised and unreasonable with the outcome dictated by Tim/Andre.

WNBR Mission Statement: <br>
−
Dario took over the Yahoo! group for WNBR Brisbane in December 2006. Dario held the ownership of the Yahoo! group for WNBR Brisbane to himself and rejected requests to share that ownership with the Australian Coordinator for the preservation of continuity and future transitions. Although Dario was the Orgnaniser in name, Lily Barlow and Laura Kearns (two models) did most of the work to organise a successful WNBR in [[Brisbane 2007]] with 32 riders attending. Lily Barlow and Laura Kearns departed after the [[Brisbane 2007]] and lost contact with the WNBR Australia organisation not that they had much if any contact via email while they were involved.
