The first naked ride is the “Sunny Nekkid Ride” starting at the Joan of Arc statue at NE 39th and Glisan, and 2pm. This will be about the fourth year for this ride. The attendance varies with the weather; tt has had as many as 100 people, and as few as 20.

The second ride is the “Fig Leif Naked Run/Ride” in Forest Park at 7:30pm. We will be hosting a 10K off road naked bike ride and 5k run/walk starting at the paved section of Lief Erickson Drive (400 Yards beyong the gate at the end of NW Thurman). Two canned food items are appreciated and they will be donated to a local soup kitchen in NW Portland. This is the Fourth Annual Run, and the first offroad naked ride. We’ve added the first off-road addition to the Pedalpalloza events with the Naked Off-Road Adventure on Lief Erickson. Help Show your support and use it as a warm-up for the mid-night ride just down the hill later. Lots of fun for a good cause! Start is 7:30pm at the porta potty area on the paved section of Leif Erickson. Show up a little before to get situated. We will watch your stuff while you ride naked. Nice and secure so you will not be alone naked at the end of the event. We’ve done this for a few years now. Lot’s of fun. Feel like a REAL Portlander!

The big ride, though, starts from and returns to the Pedalpalooza Kickoff Dance Party, which begins at 9 and continues well into the night. The WNBR itself starts at 11:59pm. This year’s location is the old coffee warehouse at 2181 NW Nicolai. This is closer to downtown than last year’s site, and there is no big hill between the party and downtown, so it should make for a good ride. We expect around 3000 cyclists this year. There is no admission fee for the party but Your Bike Is Your Ticket — you must arrive with your bike (or other human-powered transportation such as a skateboard) to be admitted to the party. You must also be at least 18 years old (and have ID to prove it) to get into the party. Of course, anybody can ride with us since the streets are open to all, but for the party we must enforce the 18+ rule. See the Pedalpalooza Dance Party Info page for details of this year’s event including the volunteer list, and Your First Naked Ride for a narrative of what a typical Portland-style WNBR is like.
