Unofficial 2021 New Years Day “World Naked Bike Ride” + Ocean Beach Polar Plunge

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Seasons Greetings everyone from WNBR-SF.
Please observe all COVID rules and social distancing.

While it looks like the New Year 2021 might not have another full Bike Naking Season, and the Riptide Bar has made no announcement about A New Years Day Polar Plunge at Ocean Beach, that doesn’t mean we have to give up beginning 2021 with our own WNBR and Polar Plunge.

In the same fashion as Critical Mass, people have a habit of showing up anyway for established events. Since the Riptide sponsored Polar Plunge has drawn 400 or more people every year, it stands to reason several hundred will show up to plunge, whether or not the sponsors are there to host it.

So let’s do this. On New Years Day, at around 11:00am, we will have an unofficial gathering at the intersection of Taraval and the Great Highway. Got that? Not Lincoln, where we have met at the past Plunge events, but at Taraval, where we typically finish. If it isn’t raining, then we’ll ride down to the Lincoln end of the Great Highway and back to Taraval. Then we will go down onto Ocean Beach to participate in a Polar Plunge. If the weather is good, we’ll stay around afterwards. If it is raining; we’ll plunge and we’re done.
