Bike to Anywhere Day Redux

Bike to Anywhere Day Redux
Today was “Bike to Anywhere Day,” formerly “Bike to Work Day,” in the Bay Area.
Spousal-unit and I left our house in Cupertino at 6:45 a.m. rode on a protected bike lane (thanks to an awesome former mayor!) to the first “Energizer Station,” in Cupertino, which had bananas and coffee. Then across the amazing Don Burnett Bicycle Bridge <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Mary_Ave_Bridge.jpg> over I-280 and then into Sunnyvale.
Through Sunnyvale to the Heatherstone Bridge <https://imgur.com/qnap3PM  > in Mountain View that goes over CA-85. Embarrassingly, we were passed by about six elementary school students on their smallish bikes, riding up the steep hairpin bridge approaches, on the way to school.
Continued onto the Stevens Creek Trail, with no grade crossings, all the way to San Francisco Bay. By the new, strange, Google Buildings <https://www.paloaltoonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/98844_original.jpg> Google hosted an Energizer Station with ham & cheese croissants, cookies, smoothies, Park Tool patch kits (two kinds), and tire levers. I told them that I thought that they would be giving out Google Pixel 9 Pro phones, but no such luck. A blimp was landing at Moffett Field which was cool <https://i.imgur.com/vSGkJSu.png>.
We then rode along the unpaved Bay Trail behind Moffett Field. I don’t have a gravel bike but yesterday I put some appropriate tires on my mountain bike and turned it into a de-facto gravel bike. Then we rode behind Lockheed Martin and on through Sunnyvale where I had to stop to let a very long snake cross the trail.
Found a secret passageway under CA-237 and went to the Marvell Energizer Station which was out of food. Continued on the San Tomas Aquino Trail past Levi’s Stadium and stopped at the City of Santa Clara Energizer Station which was just closing up, but I played Bicycle Jeopardy (who is Joe Breeze?, who is Jim Blackburn?, what is 3 feet?, but missed “The Inventor of the Safety Bicycle,” I answered: “Who is Frederick J. Safety?), and won a used seat bag (which I declined).
Continued on the San Tomas Aquino trail past Nvidia which was supposed to have an Energizer Station, but there was no sign of it. Then through Santa Clara back to Cupertino, past the Apple Spaceship and Visitor Center, to home. Wish that Intel and Apple would still participate in Bike to Work/Bike to Anywhere Day, they used to be all-in on that kind of thing, with lots of food and swag, but no more.
