Cross-posting from Yahoo mailing list (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/WorldNakedBikeRideChicago):

DEAR WONDERFUL PEOPLE...

World Naked Bike Ride Chicago is now just days away - HOORAY!!!!

MUST SEE - FOR ALL ANSWERS like when (evening of Saturday June 9th), where (TBA/west loop), can I take photos (no), parking (at home), bike rental (Bobby's), how naked (bare as you dare) ...
http://ChicagoNakedRide.org/about

We're still finalizing the route, so check-in and viewing points are TBA, but soon.

MOBILE USERS: http://MassUp.us will be over capacity. Follow us on Twitter instead/as well (see the "pro tips" posted there daily!): http://Twitter.com/ChiNakedRide

PREPARE YOUR BIKE AND YOURSELF NOW!!! You and it must be capable of over 15 miles in under three hours. If not, just come to a viewing point (TBA).

If costuming, finalize plans now. Consider accessories such as cape, gloves, boa, scarf, long socks for options in case of chill.
Personally, me and pals are planning patriotic themes, flags, red/white/blue, stars/stripes...

BODY PAINTING: Supplies and staff and time are limited. Only a lucky first few hundred can be served, may be declined for any reason, and strictly stops at sunset. PLEASE see the extensive notes and samples at http://chicagonakedride.org/bodypainting
World-class body painter Amy J is available for just a handful of major works. You'll get the photo of a lifetime, but must book her in advance and negotiate fee. Contact her at amyj49@gmail.com

Remember, we're fighting to free America from oil addiction.
Leave attitude, drunkenness, cars, drugs and sex dolls at home, and you'll have more fun than three Christmases.

Hey gotta say I'd love to buy a shirt and I understand that's the logo and all, but the beautiful naked lady on the shirt means I can't wear it as often as I'd want to. =/ Think y'all could open up to selling stickers at least for those who might feel the same or have less cash to spend?

That article is not worth the time it takes to comment and doing so will only lend credibility to the author and their message.

NewCity Magazine just published a lengthy article "Godiva’s Only a Chocolate- Skeptical reflections on Chicago’s Naked Bike Ride"

I found it bitter and grouchy, littered with basic inaccuracies, faulty assumptions, and gross generalizations. Typical cager rage. Even the fundamental perspective is comically flawed, that the writer was delayed by narcissists while driving his Buick back from a Green party meeting. It's sad that NewCity would publish such tripe, when they could have asked any actual participant for a story of beauty.

You are encouraged to barrage their comments area online.

BOTH primary mass count video acquisitions are incomplete, one because the mass stalled, the other missed maybe half because of split pack. Spectator vids are mostly at roundabouts, also not valid. We MAY not get an exact count this year. Next year, we MUST get a stationary overhead video, from Fullerton train platform for example. I'll continue monitoring, and may ask police opinion. Rough guess is same as last year or slightly bigger. So maybe 1200-1400. Weather forecast probably had large impact on turnout, but ultimately was clear. So we must also educate riders that it always sprinkles a bit. Any input on this year's count is welcome.
