- WNBR Seattle Ride
Location: Start to be determined
Other WNBR rides are being held on June 9th, but Seattle's WNBR ride is being held on:
Saturday, July 14, 2007
Location: Important! We will NOT start the ride at Gas Works this year! Stay tuned for a location announcement soon.
Expect a similar as last year, with more people, and with new date and
new start location (due to event scheduling conflict). Expect return to
Seattle Center, Cal Anderson, Lake Washington Blvd, Group Health
Bicycle Saturday and Sundays, Seward Park and Yoga in the Park
- Awesome!
Advantages of the new date:
1) Moving the date will help us give more breathing room for these very cool bodypainted / naked cycling events in June:
* Solstice Cyclists ( http://SolsticeCyclist.org ) Saturday, June 16,
2007 at the Summer Solstice Parade ( http://fremontartscouncil.org )
* Body Pride Ride (BPR) (3rd Annual) ( http://naked.wikia.com/wiki/
Body_Pride_Ride ) Sunday, June 24, 2007
2) Better chance of sunny weather! Yes! This has been the biggest complaint of our riders for years!
3) An opportunity to participate in local WNBR rides held on June 9th including Vancouver and Victoria BC and Portland, Oregon!
4) Being able to again schedule our ride during Group Health Bicycle
Saturday and Sundays - when Lake Washington Blvd gets closed off to
motor vehicle traffic all the way to Seward Park!

Disadvantages
1) Conflicts with the Seattle to Portland Ride (D'oh!)
2) Not the same date as other rides, and yet, we still ride in
solidarity!
3) Some will say that Seattle can no longer brag that we have three
naked painted rides on three consecutive weekends - But wait - We CAN
ride naked during the monthly Critical Mass ride on the last Friday on
the month! Several riders have already been doing this! Contact us for
more info! See also http://seattlecriticalmass.org
