Two North American cities with five-syllable names, Guadalajara and Philadelphia, recently designated their dates for WNBR 2023.
Guadalajara and México City will also be sites for the second annual Día al Desnudo; see below for more details on that.
The Guadalajara WNBR facilitators have polled members of their Facebook group to decide on a date for this year’s ride. The consensus choice was 24 June. Philadelphia’s team has announced on its website that their ride will take place on the now-customary last Saturday in August, which this year is the 26th.
This brings to 16 the number of announced ride dates that we have seen. At this point, 40 days before WNBR season traditionally begins, several cities with histories of naked rides have not yet announced: These include Austin TX, Bellingham WA, Boston MA, Edmonton AB, Las Vegas NV, Ottawa ON, Seattle WA, and the birthplace of WNBR as we know it Vancouver BC.
The organizers in Columbus OH have announced that they have chosen a date in August, but as of this writing they have not yet specified which.

México City and Guadalajara will also be sites for a manifestation that began there last year, Día al Desnudo (Day in the Nude). On successive Saturdays (20 and 27 May), “nacktivists” in each city will parade through their respective city centers and stop for a group photo by a major landmark.
As one might imagine, most of the promotional material for Desnudo Day is in Spanish. However, organizer Héctor Martínez can answer questions via Twitter in Spanish or English.
