Ride started warm an breezy (headwind) from BUMC, where Tony joined me. Jane Ride started warm and breezy (headwind) from BUMC, where Tony joined me. Jane and Terry met us at City Park, and we did the usual stop at the beach, then a new stop at the Highland cemetery, that was featured in a Jan Risher article in The Advocate. The docent Ken Kleinpeter gave us a tour, explaining that there are many unmarked graves, and a plaque listing all the people who might be buried there. A well marked grave was Gabriel Du Plantier, who was General Lafayette’s assistant during the revolutionary war. He also received a visit from the Marquis de Lafayette during his 1825 tour of the states. We then went to Farr Park, because it was storming to the north. We did a radar check and hoped we could make it to Highland Coffee before getting soaked. The intensifying storm changed our plan and we went to Sharlo instead, where a large bus shelter miraculously appered just as the rain started to pour. We waited an hour or so for the wind, lightning, and deluge to quiet down, and made a run for City Park. After packing Jane in her vehicle, Tony and I made record time back to BUMC in a cool mist. Coffee had to wait. 🤪
