Fantastic ride. Beautiful day. Halloween day. I needed 52 miles to get 500 for the month and got it exactly.
The bike club always stops at cemeteries on Halloween. I passed a few on Riverside and then again in Albany. Then I couldn't resist stopping at the historic Jewish Cemetery in Albany and looking at the names. Amazing to think there were Jewish pioneers here in the 1800s.
Stopped at the boat launch on the Santiam in Jefferson. Then on Talbot road I was passed by an emergency vehicle towing a boat. Uh oh. There were a bunch of them at the ferry landing and they were doing a water rescue, but the ferry was not delayed and I got across fine. Then a stop at Buena Vista park before enjoying a nice tailwind home.
