Oddball 2: Odd Harder [UPDATE: June 14!]
[UPDATE]
Sunday, June 14th is the day, ladies and gents. Mark your calendars!
Meet at PacBell/SBC/AT&T Park, east side by the docks. Roll out at 10-ish!
Pete's leading the way!
Who's in? Sound off!

I had a lot of fun at last year's inaugural April Twenty Observed International Oddball Ride, and I think a lot of others did, as well. It was the biggest turnout I've seen at a ride.
Recumbents! Foldies! C&V'ers! Unis! Tallbikers! Hybrid-riders! Tarckies! BMXers! Commuters! Mountain bikers! Oddballs of all color, shape, and creed! Who's up for a second go of this?
Like last time, this should be a flat, slowish ride to accommodate the wide variety of bikes in attendance.
At this point, it looks like the weekends of April 11-12 and May 9-10 are the most open, calendar-wise, though I'm certainly open for suggestion.
What sayeth thou?

Count me in! Either date is fine as long as we book it early enough to plan around it.
The tough part will be deciding which one of my oddball bikes to ride???

I have the Copperopolis RR on the 11th, so the 12th is good for me. I put dropbars and a new wheelset on my fixed gear so I'll (try and) follow Pete.

I'm interested. Will definitely show up if it works with my schedule. So far I'm favoring the April 12 date

That's three votes for April 12. Any objections?

Hmm, the weekend of April 25-26 might work. The Wildflower is on the 26th, but maybe the 25th?

Didn't see this thread earlier. Last year's Oddball was the ride I was most sorry I missed! And the craving for ever more oddness simply worsens.
x136 - speak to us.. the merry pranksters will gather.
Unless no dates work and we wait for next year.
*sigh*

How's the weekend of May 9/10 sound to everyone? Calendar looks fairly clear for that weekend. Is that enough forewarning? If not, maybe early June?
