Time: 4 pm - 6 pm
Location: Will Not Presently Divulge
Planning
Dario Western has volunteered to organise the WNBR in Brisbane in 2008 and welcomes offers of help with this task. People interested in participating or helping organise the 2008 WNBR in Brisbane should join the discussion group and watch this page. Important: we will *NOT* be doing next year's bike ride on the same route that we took this year. Neither does Dario have any wish for the mainstream media to know about it until a week before the event due to the police intervention.

History
2007
Date: Saturday 10 March 2007
Time: 4pm
Location: ABC Studios, 600 Coronation Drive, Toowong
The 2007 ride was the first for Brisbane.
The Indooroopilly police were assembled on Coronation Drive at Toowong at approximately 3.10pm with the photographers and film makers turning up half an hour later. The riders started to arrive about after 4pm for body painting as well as talking to the people at 4ZZZ radio, Channel 10, and the Westside News. 32 riders participated.
Post-ride party
We all had our post ride party at the Regatta Hotel afterwards. The duty manager kindly reserved the Cellar Bar downstairs for us. We discussed plans for next year's ride as well as impromptu public nude stagings and plans for starting a young adults naturist group in Brisbane this year. At one stage, some of us nuded up for a photograph. One young lady took part in the photo, but she was not comfortable with going the full monty just yet. Nevertheless it was a great opportunity to renew some old friendships and forge a few new ones too.
