Paddagang: Breakfast in Tulbach
Twenty of us set off at just after eight in rather cold and overcast conditions. After all the rain of the past week we were surprised at the good turnout, two Honda’s one Kawasaki and the rest BMW’s made it to Tulbach. Mist along the way slowed the group down, but all in all the ride was pleasant taking just a little over an hour.
Gerrit and Bubbles welcomed us on arrival, they had arranged tables together outside under some old vines, however on seeing the fires inside we quickly requested a move inside which was warm and cosy. Coffee and tea were ordered followed by a rather nice breakfast. Gerrit informed me that Paddagang had donated two bottles of Port for the Club. Two plates of food ordered would have a single flower on it and the recipients of these
flowers would receive the Port. The winners were Brian and Clayton’ wife, a rather nice touch from the owners of Paddageng which made the breakfast one to be remembered.
We sat and chatted for a while rather enjoying the company and heat from the fires. Unfortunately all good things come to and end and we set off in smaller groups back to Cape Town via different routes. Paddagang will remain one of the preferred breakfast venues, so look out for it in the future, this ride is not to be missed.
