Found this on Facebook. My first reaction – it kind of amused me so thought I’d share!!! Apparently this has been happening every June since 2006! Really, I’ve never ever seen it.
The last time we had a bike event in Cambridge it was the Tour de France, which was chock-a-block with lycra. This is a bit different!
Anyway, if you want to support this event for environmental reasons, and of course your love of biking, give it a go, just be aware that the expression saddle sore is going to take on a whole new dimension! Still, there’s always the option to go partially clothed, I know which half, I’d opt for.
Thank goodness they’re holding this event in June, a naked bike ride sure isn’t an activity for the winter! Ugh, that just sends shivers down my spine.

Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

My first thought was ouch! Could be fun…to watch. Are you going? How many take part I wonder? I sure hope the weather is better than today for the riders.

Yes, my first thought was ouch too! I might go along to watch. Yes, I hope the weather is kind to them, today it’s raining, so a bit of sunshine next weekend wouldn’t go amiss!

I missed it too, the weather was dreary, so stayed away. Bit of a shame for all those participants. Thanks for commenting Debbie.

Ah, ha, ha! I’ve never heard of this event. I completely understand why they’re doing it. I’m very surprised this is not being done at South Beach, Florida (USA) since they really love their bikes and are usually half naked anyway. 😉

Yes think the venue is all wrong, especially as the weather has been so atrocious this summer. 😦
