PNBR is one of a few WNBRs that occurs on a different date than the synchronized rides which occur on the second Saturday of June for Northern Hemisphere cities. PNBR has been held nearly every year since 2009 (excepting only 2020 due to COVID-19) on a Saturday or Sunday in late August or early September, usually in mid-to-late afternoon.
