WNBR Lex September 7th, 2013
If I forget please add a couple paragraphs of how the ride went here (number of riders, weather, overall mood etc) and delete this message.
Important notes: Any important, or last minute info relating to this particular years ride will be posted below.
- The police charged a couple of us during the last WNBR Lex. I'm going to mail the Kentucky ACLU to see if there is anything we can do differently on this ride to avoid officer harassing and charging us. We might have to keep full nudity to the after party. As the organizer I think we were just easy targets being 30 riders. I think even if we just had a couple hundred we'd be a little harder for officers to overpower.

2012
WNBR Lex August 25th, 2012
- About 30 riders showed to the Second Annual WNBR Lex. We had almost finished the ride when we were stopped and harassed by officers. Two riders were charged with indecent exposure without proving we were doing anything indecent while naked. Had we been doing anything lewd while naked for example is where it would be indecent.
5 male riders went fully naked and a lady or two went topless. Everyone except two of us got out cloths back on before the police could catch them.
- We'll prolly have to keep some cloths on for the next ride since it's more important to just have a worry free good time, but in the spirit of the WNBR's the ride will remain as bare as you dare.

2011
WNBR Lex August 27th, 2011
- History was made on August 27th, 2011. About 50 to 60 riders took to the streets of Lexington, KY in protest of our seemingly endless dependency on oil. The weather was perfect, no one was arrested, and everyone had an awesome time.
We gathered between the baseball field and Clay street in Woodland Park at 7 PM for body painting, eating, and festivities until 9 PM when we rode out on a 10 mile trek threw the streets of Lexington. Everyone cheered us on, and we all partied hard at Al's Bar until the wee hours of the morning.
