I was a bit late at the start point. But SJBP never starts on time anyway, right? They did this time. The start was so deserted it looked like the aliens had abducted them all. I caught up with the group by 1st regroup point. Tweets from the ride... (text of all the tweets included in case Twitter dies, which is actually possible after their layoffs and staff exodus) I was late to the start of SJ Bike Party in downtown SJ. I caught up at 1st regroup point in Santa Clara. Good attendance for November: looks like a couple hundred cyclists or more. #cycling #SanJose #BayArea https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593836887181230080 Now at 2nd regroup point with SJ Bike Party. The theme tonight is the "Area 51 Ride". I got a photo with a green dude here after riding together part of the previous segment. #cycling #SanJose #BayArea https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593852486573379584 There's some irony to getting a red light at Obama Blvd. But the Bike Party music bike set the right example and everyone stopped for the light. (Sometimes it's a challenge to get everyone to stop if someone busts a light.) #cycling #SanJose #BayArea https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593869789948416001 Trains are another reason to tell everyone to stop for red lights. Alert VTA trolley operator saved some careless riders with a quick stop. I couldn't yell loud enough to get the riders to stop for the train. #cycling #SanJose #BayArea https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593870636237041664 Back at the start point. SJ Bike Party is over for November. #cycling #SanJose #BayArea https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593871468365983745 Safe at home. Fun conversation earlier tonight at 2nd regroup point: "Area 51 Ride" theme led someone to ask the guy with the green alien👽 mask if he had ever seen a UFO. No. But I told them, "I've caused UFO sightings." Told some stories from high-altitude balloon projects. 😀 https://twitter.com/KO6YQ/status/1593889822304673792
