Month: June 2020

dbc sez: I’m part envy, part admiration. Some brave New Orleanians did their WNBR thing this past Saturday (13 June) as planned. And they got their photos up on Facebook, nipples and all, while I got slapped with another 30-day ban for posting a link to this site (with a thumbnail of our female-nipple-free cover photo).

Well done, WNBR NOLA! And FU FB!

As reported previously, NOLA’s WNBR contingent decided to ride in small groups instead of a mass gathering. The lack of police escort made many riders more cautious about their choice of wardrobe than they might otherwise have been, in addition to some caution regarding COVID-19 infection. Riding in nothing but shoes, helmet, and face mask was definitely this year’s fashion statement, as it likely will be in Portland OR on 27 June.

H-Town WNBR deeply regrets that there will be no ride here this year. Assuming this pandemic will be over by next summer, the 2021 should be a colossal celebration of having survived it, dedicated to all those who did not.

New column in the table: Confirmation as to whether the ride is proceeding on the date listed, mindful of the danger of spreading COVID-19. This site does not recommend participating in a city where the risk of infection remains high.
