Find the start you want on Facebook and click the button to say you are going or interested. That way you are most likely to see a ny updates to times or locations. Then use the share button to invite all your friends! NB The exact departure times may change on the day\, dependi ng on how many people go to each start point. However\, they won't be any earlier than the assembly times listed here.\n\n\n\n Choosing a Start Poin t\n\n\n\n In recent years WNBR London has had multiple start points. We re gularly have over 1\,000 riders so it would be hard to fit you all in one place. This also means you can choose a convenient location. But\, whereve r you start\, all groups converge to form one peloton that can be around 4 Km long when stretched out!\n\n\n\n So\, what considerations might you hav e?\n\n\n\n Convenient location\n \n \n Transport links (train/tube/bus)\ n \n \n Bike hire locations\n \n \n Length of ride\n \n \n Scenic / sig htseeing opportunities\n \n \n Where your friends are starting from\n \n \n Opportunity for social time before ride\n \n \n Bodypainting\n \n \n Crowds vs Small Group\n \n \n Public vs Private\n \n \n Minimising spec tators and photographers\n \n\n \nCroydon is a new start this year. It wi ll be the longest of the routes at 20⅓ miles (32½ Km). Riders will need to keep up a good speed before joining the other groups in Central London . The venue is in a gated\, private property so will be convenient for bod ypainting and some pre-ride socialising.\n\n\n\n Kew Bridge slips to seco nd longest at 17¾ miles (28½ Km). It tends to attract a small group of e nthusiastic cyclists. The ride crosses the meandering Thames five times be fore joining in with the Clapham Junction start. Altogether you should get to cross the Thames eight times! The ride starts from the southbound road side at the north end of the bridge. This means there is nowhere to social ise or do body painting – and no point in arriving early. It is a relati vely small group of riders.\n\n\n\n Clapham Junction is very convenient f or the train connections\, after all\, it is the biggest junction and has the most trains passing through – over 2\,000 on weekdays. Our start poi nt is alongside the station (Platform 1 side) in a fairly small public squ are\, so there is no time for socialising or body painting. The overall ro ute is 9 miles (14½ Km).\n\n\n\n Deptford at 10⅓ miles (16⅔ Km) is a nother fairly long ride. It will meet other groups at Tower Hill and conti nue as part of a merged group. The start is at Matchstick Piehouse\, a the atre\, café and bar. It is a private location which means you can arrive early from noon to socialise\, do bodypainting\, eat pies and drink.\n\n\n \n Victoria Park is another new route for 2021. It is around 11½ miles l ong (18½ Km). The group is led by one of our disabled cyclists and will t ake a comfortable route to merge with the Deptford and Tower Hill groups b efore becoming part of the overall peloton.\n\n\n\n \n\n The other rides a re relatively easy rides into the centre.\n\n\n\n \nTower Hill is arguabl y the most scenic ride\, starting alongside the Tower of London\, crossing four bridges\, riding alongside the river\, passing through Trafalgar Squ are and Westminster. It’s handy for London Bridge\, Waterloo\, Charing C ross\, Fenchurch St and Liverpool St stations. We use a reasonably large p ublic park\, so it is possible to arrive early\, picnic\, socialise and do body painting. Because it is a public space there will be onlookers and p hotographers. The ride from here is about 7¾ miles (12½ Km).\n\n\n\n Hyd e Park is the best known starting point and always attracts large crowds (including photographers)\, so those riders need to enjoy being in a crowd ! Each year we have to agree details with the Royal Parks (and the Parks ’ Police)\, but we expect to be able to gather early enough for socialis ing and bodypainting. Being a large group of riders\, it tends to move slo wly. It is a short route at just over 7½ miles (12¼ Km).\n\n\n\n Regents Park is an easy ride down through the centre of town\, and particularly good if you are bringing your bike in via Euston or Kings Cross stations. The Royal Parks do not give us permission to start from the Park\, so we s tart roadside instead. There has not been a problem with people visiting t he park before the start\, but do not get naked\, do bodypainting or look like you are lining up for the start! This is the shortest route at just u nder 7½ miles (12 Km).\n\n\n\n \n\n We can no longer offer the start at  West Norwood as the property owner has moved – and now offers the route from Croydon instead.\n\n\n\n All the routes merge for the core part of t he route\, from Westminster Bridge onwards\, to form the 1\,000+ rider pel oton (which always moves at a safe\, comfortable pace and gets stuck a bit ). The main route ends near Hyde Park Corner.\n\n\n\n There will then be an optional onward ride for people cycling to the afterparty venue.\n\n\ n\n If you are worried about how far you can cycle\, bear in mind that you can choose to finish any time you want to. You don’t have to do the ful l course to show your support for the campaign.\n\n\n\n Start points and r outes may be subject to change due to unforeseen traffic conditions on the day so riders should check the exact locations and details on the WNBR Lo ndon website\, FaceBook pages or Twitter feed.\n\n\n\n Things to Know\n\n\ n\n Wear clothes before and after the ride\n\n\n\n Do not undress until ju st before the protest moves off\, as this will undermine our positive rela tionship with the authorities. There is no law against nudity in England\, but please don't exercise your right to nudity in London before the ride\ , as it will impact on our ability to make arrangements with police. Feel free to undress in the UK at any other time of the year\, as this will not have any impact on the WNBR.\n\n\n\n Body paint\, decorated bikes\, flags \, whistles\, etc make a great impression. Remember - it is AS BARE AS YO U DARE you do not need to be naked. If you are concerned about spectators and cameras at the start\, you might keep some clothes on until the first time the ride halts.\n\n\n\n Some more information about the photography policy can be found here: UK FAQ\n\n\n\n Assembly area\n\n\n\n You can assemble at one of the start points before the actual start time\; see abo ve for exact times at different locations. You can stay dressed as long as you want\, but don't get undressed more than five minutes before the adve rtised start time\, or as otherwise directed. If you turn up too early\, S tewards will ask you to leave and return at the proper time. See the secti on below to read why. Be prepared to form up ready for departure at about five minutes before departure. The protest will start at different times a t different locations - see details above.\n\n\n\n Body Painting\n\n\n\n T his varies depending on the start point. Please consult the relevant page for specific information.\n\n\n\n Route\n\n\n\n Arranging the route for th e WNBR requires negotiation with multiple authorities\, working around oth er events\, some of which are planned well in advance and others which occ ur on very short notice. The WNBR isn't the London Marathon and can't agre e roads being closed months in advance. We try and ensure the route goes p ast many of the London landmarks where it will be seen by people on the st reets. This helps to promote the goals of the protest ride whilst letting you see London whilst doing something a little bit different. We do try to announce the route beforehand\, but sometimes it is difficult to do so wi thout having to change it at the last minute. This is why the route isn't always available beforehand and may even change on the day at the discreti on of the lead marshal.\n\n\n\n The route should see you passing the Londo n landmarks of Piccadilly Circus\, Trafalgar Square\, Whitehall\, Parliame nt\, Westminster Bridge\, London Eye\, Waterloo Bridge\, Royal Courts of J ustice\, Covent Garden\, The Mall and Wellington Arch. Altogether\, our mu ltiple start points will see us crossing 12 bridges over the Thames and co vering 33 miles of London's streets!\n\n\n\n There is no secure storage fo r your clothes or valuables while we are doing the ride. You need to take them with you. Most people either have carriers on their bike or wear a ba ckpack. It's also risky to trust friends to carry them in case you can't f ind them in the crowd.\n\n\n\n Ride length\n\n\n\n The routes are between 7 and 21 miles long depending on where you begin - so choose one that suit s your ability. Central London is fairly flat with very few hills. It's an easy\, leisurely ride\, going at the pace of the slowest riders and pausi ng to allow the groups to catch up! It should take around 2.5 hours for th e shorter routes.\n\n\n\n Finish\n\n\n\n The finish is Hyde Park Corner/We llington Arch. When you arrive at the end of the ride\, congratulate yours elf and fellow riders on staging a successful protest. The finish area wil l not be a venue for prolonged naked socialising. So when you've found you r friends\, taken your photographs and celebrated the highlights of the ri de\, please get dressed and move on to continue your celebrations elsewher e. In particular\, please note that playing games\, such as Frisbee or bal l games\, in the finish area is not allowed.\n\n\n\n The dispersal will co mmence as soon as the ride finishes. People will be asked by Stewards to l eave the roadway\, dress and depart immediately.\n\n\n\n Dispersal\n\n\n\n Get dressed before you leave the finish area. If you decide to move into surrounding areas\, please show consideration for others. Remember that an y misbehaviour that is associated with WNBR riders may jeopardise our abil ity to continue assembling anywhere in London in future years.\n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220611 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
