Next ride
Date: Saturday 12 July 2008
Time: evening, TBA, probably 8 or 9pm, check back for details
Location: start at Benedict Fountain Park @ 20th Ave. & Pennsylvania
WEDNESDAY JULY 9TH: We will be having a pre-ride community meeting for anyone who is planning on participating in the ride - you can come and learn more about what this is all about, get any questions answered, get some bodypainting/costuming/signage ideas, and just make sure you're on the same page with everyone else before the ride. Some folks from CopWatch will also be doing a Know-Your-Rights training so that people will know what to do should there be any encounters with law enforcement.
When: Wednesday, July 9th, 6:30pm
Where: Gypsy House Cafe, 13th Ave. & Marion (basement)
So far for this year:
- June 6th, we had a PRECURSOR to the actual ride, which involved no actual nudity, but rather all 3 participants getting as creatively and colorfully bodypainted as possible and otherwise body-arted and costumed up for the first "Almost Naked" Painted Bike Ride! The purpose of this ride was to: 1. do something in solidarity with most of the other Northern Hemisphere cities who did their rides that weekend, since ended up pushing the date of our actual ride way back, 2. do something a little more exciting than flyering to get the word out about the actual ride, and 3. get in gear for the actual ride while having fun! Despite the low turn-out (probably due to last-minute publicity), it went over well enough that it's something we may use again next year (except bigger this time).
- There was also a ride in Boulder on Saturday, June 14th, which many Denverites went up to participate in! (Since there's nothing that says you can't participate in two WNBRs in one year...)
History
2007 Notes
We will have a kick-off/prep session for the ride between 6:30 and 8:00pm at the residence of one of the riders and will start from there, but to get to the location of the kick-off, participants will need to check in at a nearby checkpoint, which will be in Cheesman Park between 6:30 and 7:45, probably at the pavillion. The ride itself will probably kick off around 8:00pm
- This will be the very first WNBR for Denver, although rides have taken place in Boulder for the last 3 years.
