Ride note: Gorgeous spots of foliage but mostly piney green. Breeds Pond is gone, decimated by this summer's drought. The whole pond. Gone.

Ride note: Cold but sunny for my last coffeeneuring ride for 2022. (Took it down to the wire this year!) Rode through a very quiet November Salem -- vastly different from October Salem! Stopped into Front Street Coffeehouse and enjoyed a latte at leisure. Perfect wrap up ride for this fall's Coffeeneuring Challenge!
