Sometimes it is better not to know what is coming. For example, knowing yesterday that today
would have cold rain mid afternoon into the evening made one not want to ride
too far. And particularly it doesn’t
make one want to camp in a state park, where there will be minimal shelter from
the elements. So being cautious, Joe,
Tom and possibly Ed decided after dinner last night to cut today’s ride short
and stay in the town of Ville Platte . It is short of reaching Chicot
State park
During breakfast this morning, our leader, Ken, who made all
who wanted to stay inside instead of camp just because of some little rain feel
wimpy at map meeting last night, is now thinking of changing the plans for the
group. He is trying to arrange to have
the group ride 20 miles further and stay indoors at a hotel in the town of Bunkie . Later during the morning it was confirmed
that the plans have been changed, the group will stay in Bunkie, but it is too
late for Joe and Tom who have non-cancelable reservations in Ville Platte. All
will be back together again tomorrow night in Simmersport.
The morning started off warmer than it has been lately, the
sky was clear and the weather pleasant. This makes one wonder if the weather man will
be wrong about today’s weather. The ride
was very enjoyable along mostly country farm roads. The miles flew by and before you knew it, we
where in Ville Platte. It is now later
in the afternoon and the sky is changing.
It is darkening, threatening clouds are rolling in and the sun is hiding. Tomorrow mornings temperature is forecast to
be in the low 30’s. Anyone want to get
out of a tent tomorrow?
