Many years ago, a bike shop owner had a short, around town, Saturday or Sunday morning, breakfast ride for newbies. It was so much fun, more experienced riders usually showed up to ride and help out. Early in the morning, you have little traffic and you are never far away from anything, especially in Lake Charles, LA. It gets people used to road riding, obeying traffic laws, some traffic, etc. The breakfast stop was always Mary Ann's Cafe, which was a local favorite. You could get beignets and cafe au lait there, which was a favorite of everyone. Many new people showed up for the ride.
