Ride details

Canberra will ride at 12pm on Sunday 20 March. Come early (10.00am) for bodypainting, bike decoration and general prep. Remember it's bare as you dare, so there's no pressure to strip all the way down. (See the dot point list at the end of this section regarding ride requirements..)

If you want to support the ride, but don't want to actually ride, you are welcome to help with organising the ride, bodypainting on the day, providing water/drinks halfway through the ride and so much more.. just let us know you are interested.

The ride will be FREE! Everyone is welcome to join the ride. After the ride there might be a BBQ, beers at the pub or some other type of celebration which will probably be pay-as-you-go.

This is the current route planned for WNBR Canberra Ride - 20 March 2011.

Ride Planning

Planning Meeting

Peacefully expose the vulnerability of cyclists, humanity and nature in the face of cars, aggression, consumerism and non-renewable energy.

The ride date for this event is TENTATIVE and the time of assembly and assembly place is yet to be decided.

WNBR Canberra needs people willing to help organise it. The leading 2010 Organisers have pressing personal commitments which will prohibit them performing the same role in 2011.

If you want to support the ride, but don't want to actually ride, you are welcome to help with organising the ride, bodypainting on the day, providing water/drinks halfway through the ride and so much more check out Facebook <http://bit.ly/bpccow> which is our organising page. Anything you can do to help... HELPS!

Tentative details of this event are Date: Sunday 13 Mar 2011 Time: to be decided Location: to be decided.
