Ride note: Still many tourists in Salem, but not too bad. Beautiful day. Surprised to see the water breaching the walkway and some coastal erosion down by the wharf. As much as I've loved the weather lately, climate change and rising sea levels are alarming.

Ride note: Near 70 degree day! Great time exploring some of the quiet streets and architectural details surrounding the Washington Square-Essex Street-Derby Street area. Stunned to pay $11 for a small cookie and iced coffee at Jaho -- tourist pricing??? I'm not a fan.

Bike: Kona Kahuna MTB
Ride note: Rail trail into town for some Xmas shopping at a few local businesses, and a stop by the harbor. We had a gray day, temps in the mid 30s, but no wind. My last coffeeneuring ride for 2021 and I'm happy I got it done with a few days to spare.
