I've created a text messaging group for the event.
Anyone in the group can send text messages to everyone else in the group.
Now we can broadcast our progress and other chatter live so fans and press
and late joiners can find us using their cell phones or web.
A join form for this new "Mobile Alerts" system is now on the home page at:

Or send "JOIN CGONAKEDRIDE" to 8762

To help make this work, could someones with fast thumbs please volunteer to
be authoritative en-route location updaters on ride day? Reply for my
records. THX!

~~~ basics for newbies ~~~
WNBR-C is a fun and conspicuous event celebrating the end of the oil era,
and promoting positive body image. This event is global with dozens of
cities participating world-wide, and Chicago routinely setting U.S. turnout
records. 2008 is our fifth annual ride!
This is a bare-as-you-dare event, with outfits ranging from body paint to
fanciful costumes to beach-wear. Chicago's past rides rallied hundreds of
cyclists and numerous skaters covering over a dozen miles of high visibility
city tourism and recreation areas. The ride's atmosphere is extremely
joyful and transcendently fun.
Bicycles constitute the best solution to reducing America's petroleum
addiction and improving public fitness. With gas prices astronomical and
obesity an epidemic, our messages have become truisms.
Ride is NEXT Saturday, June 14th!!!
6pm gathering and body painting, 9pm ride, location TBA.
