Sounds like a very good and very cool bike ride.
I will not be riding this year.
The fact that others are riding is a very good mood.
I wish all well and a safe and good time.
I hand-type all my posts by hand. I write all of my own forum and group posts.
Just wanted to share that the WNBR dates for Seattle and Portland have been set. I am a member of the Seattle wnbr FB group, and they posted the official dates for each.
Seattle is Saturday July 18th @3pm, meet at gasworks park and Portland is Saturday July 25th, not aware yet of the start time.
I have always been interested in WNBR but there is never one close enough to me. However, I am curious about e-bikes. Are we allowed to ride them? If there is ever an event near or in Kentucky, someone please let me know ASAP.

Probably the closest ones to you would be St. Louis, MO and Columbus, OH.I have done both. St Louis as part of my World Naked Bike Ride Summer Tour in 2022, Columbus in 2023. Pros and cons with both of them.
St Louis ride had over 1000 riders, but the majority of them treated it like a costume party. Those of us that went totally nude got the most attention. They have a real cool block party both before and after the ride. Overall, i enjoyed it. The main con is the high crime rate there and since it ends after dark, that could be a concern.
Columbus was a fun ride, relatively small turnout of riders because if you are not on Farcebook, I wouldn't even try it. It was just about impossible to get any information like start time and meetup location unless you are on Farcebook. After driving from Buffalo to Columbus, staying at a motel. I would have missed the ride had there not been another guy at the same motel that saw my WNBR license plate and contacted me once they announced the meetup time and location a few hours before the ride. I swear, Mark Zuckerberg must own that ride and unless he can put a couple bucks on his pile of billions by selling your personal info to everyone and their mother, you won't get any info. I spoke to a couple of the organizers about that and they were a bit receptive to having a public page. I don't know if anything came out of it.
Actually, not being in your backyard has it's advantages. You don't have to worry about someone you would rather not see you participating seeing you like a neighbor or employer.
