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 2007.
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.
Miami
Miami Beach is riding on both 10 March, 2007 and 9 June 2007.
Regional considerations
Warm enough?
Early June is a little too cold and unpredicatble in terms of rainy and windy days for many North American cities (Brrr), except in Miami.
Both Ottawa and Chicago got freezed-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.
Nude Recreation week
July 9-15, 2007 is Nude Recreation week in North America, and yet there are no known large-scale public events during that time. WNBR could easily fit this bill.
