BAY TO BREAKERS.

Can a serious world-class footrace
be combined with a strolling clothing-optional party?
Only in San Francisco!
"Bay to Breakers" (aka Bare 2 Breakers, aka B2B) turns 95 this year.


The main commercial sponsor has changed (again),
but we expect clothing-optionality to continue.

To save $$, please register BEFORE MARCH 22.
SUN urges you to register, IF you can afford to.
However, even the poor can participate, registered or not.

http://www.INGbaytobreakers.com

[ Note: The official B2B website & literature may claim that nudity is forbidden;
but such disclaimers aren't "reality-based" -- merely "bull-based".

There will be at least two organized nude/topfree groups,
and more informal groups; plus lone streakers.
Details TBA. ]

A study carried out by the ANZAC Research Institute has found men who used the androgen therapy
regained sperm output in a predictable fashion after ceasing treatment."
