Went along some backroads in the area and ended up on Paarl Mountain, a granite outcrop on the outskirts of Paarl. a large town in the winelands region near Wellington where I stay.

This is the view looking towards the city of Cape Town, about 40 miles away as the crow flies, with Table Mountain just visible on the horizon.

The town of Paarl below, with Wellington just out of sight at the far left.

Vineyards and farmland in the area.

That's interesting. Over here the white lines are on the shoulder and the yellow are in the center. The double yellow means, unless you're a real turkey, stay in your lane!

A person would think that road markings all over the world would be done according to a universal code to avoid confusion for international travellers!

It was warm enough today to ride the bike to a doctor's appointment so I went by the Dayton VA Medical Center this morning and took some pictures of the oldest building on the campus. Built in 1868, the Protestant Chapel has seen a lot of people in it since President Lincoln first authorized the Soldier's Asylums in 1865. Some history of the Dayton VA if you are interested:

They are renovating some of the church so I had to cut off the construction fence and light pole but here's the sign at the rear

Roads only have two sides and the world can’t agree to which side of the road we should drive on.

This made me laugh!

After almost 18 months, I took the GS out for a spin around town on Sunday.

Every place I have been has at least agreed to drive on the TOP side. :-\\\

40 DegF this morning, house quest gone, should autta go for ride.
Havent been for ride since before Thanksgiving.
Jacket and helmet in hand, open garage door to see is quite wett out. Ah, maybe better this after noon. I got some errands to run, and can stopp for coffee.

THen this afternoon is 50degF, but still wett some.
SO get out the Shadow500.
Check over things, tire pressure and such,

Oh, plate has expired tab. I got new ones end of November. I know right where it is.

Oh, gee, this one expired in September.
Took care of that.

GOt out of town for about 45 minute ride.

I was wondering why pavement didnt dry out when was 40 in the morning and 50 in the afternoon with partly sunny. Geepers I found out. Seems like humidity must be real high, was a fine mist in the air it seemed.

Ah, maybe finish leaf raking some other day.,

But, still, good to get out.

Ice and snow. Studs are on the TUX... Nice slow adventurous ride over a frozen river and through the woods. Sure would be nice if we got a thaw...

Hope everyone had a safe and great holiday season!

No ride yesterday but I did get out for a round of golf with my father in law. That was fun...I used to golf a lot and was a member at a club here until I got back into motorcycles 8 years ago.Soon found out I couldn't afford the time and the money to do both...

Some beautiful pics and thoughts written on here...

I applaud you guys out riding in the snow, having never seen it personally myself I reckon that would be quite the cold and slippery riding experience!

As for me, out for the usual Saturday morning ride although a short one yesterday. Not too hot which was nice.

Did the usual 65 mile loop on the Kat yesterday.
Cold 39F, semi damp roads, didn't stop for photos.
Been more than a month since the last ride, felt good to be back in the saddle.

The S is looking great, Trevor.
Envious of your weather that allows golfing and riding at Christmas time.

With the unusual above 40? temps all week, I've been able to ride all my bikes.
Rode the 1100G today with the luggage rack bolted on.

It was good to ride for an hour or so this afternoon. Plenty of warm layers and a balaclava made a huge difference in keeping the chill out. I was toasty warm for the most part, but really need to take the time to run the wires through my jacket for the heated glove liners next time.

I wanted to grab a pic of the setting sun on the snow covered mountains. Man, the colors were breathtaking, but it was gone by the time I found a spot for a pic.
