Title: This mornings ride...
Post by: BradleyT on December 11, 2010, 10:21:22 AM
Thought I would share two pics from a ride I did this morning.  It is summer here in South Africa, but the wind was strong today - the strongest I have ever ridden in!  :o  At least the tyre wear will be a bit more even considering the angles that I had to lean the bike to counter the wind - but my Xciting, with its low centre of gravity, was a pleasure.  We have wonderful, good quality roads here around the Cape Town, so even in such conditions one feels relatively safe.  ;D

Till next time....

Nice pics from the southern hemisphere, especially viewed from the cold northern.

Hi WT100 - that is the Paarlberg Mountains (which sometimes get snow high up in winter) which are about 40kms inland, but I attach a few pics from a previous ride which include Table Mountain.  These pics were taken in October - the beginning of our Summer.  Thanks for the interest all...I also enjoy seeing pics from other parts of the world.  ;D

They are indeed grapevines.  The area around Cape Town is well know for their good quality wines - the area being known as the Winelands.  Wine is a huge source of revenue for the area, and a major tourist attraction for foreigners.  A good bottle of wine sells for around ZAR60 (8US$)
