Dear AdventuRiders,
DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK 1 HOUR TONIGHT. And change your smoke / CO detector batteries too.
The weather is looking very nice for this time of year, but chilly. Bring your warm stuff! It should be SUNNY and about 40 degrees when we leave and SUNNY and 50 degrees when we return. It will be a bit breezy, so be sure to bring a wind layer.
On Sunday, November 4th - Salem Spooktacular.
As I was was scouting out this ride, I ended up wanting to yell "Enough with the beautiful ocean vistas already, I get it!". Along with the history and Halloween madness of Salem, this promises to be a EPIC ride. Lunch is at Cap't Waterfront Grill & Pub. One of my friends works there and she claims it's the best place in town.
