I definitely can't make June 7 as that is my next concert.
(But please don't plan around my schedule, it's always so up in the air with my travel.)

That's a good one. Have to save that one for the third in the trilogy.

Does anyone have a penny farthing? Now that would be the ultimate oddball ride.

Okay, I'm going to tentatively call Sunday, June 14. Yes, I know it's Flag Day. Too bad.

Speak now or forever hold your peace?

I'll ask for the day off. That's good enough notice.

You've spoken in favor, and everyone else has held their peace. Good enough for me.

First post updated.

Since the date has changed so drastically, I'll start over with the roster. Who's in?

I'm in. June 14th sounds good to me. I'll put together a route with some shorter bailout points. Probably the same start 10am at the Seal statue behind AT&T park.

Hmmm, I'd have to leave home by 6 (maybe earlier, I will be on the folder after all) to make it to Caltrain on time.

I'll try to make it this time. Although my "odd-ball" bike would be my mtb. Does that count?

Since mtn bikes are considered oddball, I guess we're in. We'll ride our mtn tandem.

Does the bike have to be oddball or my own Oddball nature enough?

A standard bicycle will be welcomed, but there will be frowns and dismay.

A standard bicycle adorned oddly will likely wipe away the tears, though!

Sweet. Youse guys is on the list.

...oops, careful of that BUMP...

Planning to have the '67 Varsity - green, of course - there, all 40+ lbs. of it.

Pete - easy on those elevation numbers, eh?

I'm tentatively in. Does a bike without a front derailleur count?

Martin lives right down the street. He's the semi-famous Palo-Altan you see riding up and down Bryant. I've talked to him a few times on his way to Whole Foods. I think his plan is to ride his Highwheeler cross-country.

My friend still has my mtb so I may have to show up on my regular ride. Although, if I'm the only one on a road bike wouldn't that make me an oddball? Hehe!

I am still in. Any idea what the route will be and what the pace will be like? I can only cruise at 8-10mph on the unicycle. If that's too slow or if the route is too long I will bring my new Swift that should be delivered Friday
