Cavaliers visit Michael D.'s mom

The Cavaliers took a ride in July to Krotz Springs and visited Michael D's mom at the family homestead. Riders included Doc, Dave, Doug, Michael D., Diane, Juliette, Michael W. and David. The Cavaliers stopped to eat lunch at Pat's in Henderson on the way to Krotz Springs and got a table with a view.

We had a great ride today, with Doc, Michael and Doug, Diane and Juliette, Dave D., joining Michael and me.

Our destination was Pat's Fisherman's Wharf restaurant in tiny Henderson. We had a great meal overlooking the water. It gave us plenty of time to dry off after a heavy shower dumped on us just as we came off the Atchafalaya basin bridge.

Mike D. then led us through the thriving metropolis of Arnaudville, on our way to his hometown of Krotz Springs. We got a tour of the WHOLE TOWN, and even got to meet his mom. Awww! We then headed home to New Orleans, dodging a few showers along the way.

We rode 290 miles today, putting the Cav-o-meter at 19,895 for the year. That puts us over last year's 18,620, and we still have three more months to go!

Between this ride and yesterday's ride to Point a la Hache, Mike and Doug moved ahead of Poncho, Doc moved ahead of Lance, and Diane, Dave D., Bubba and Eric all moved up in the standings.
