It was a very hot day today in Cyprus so I decided to let my Atom take me up to Troodos Village (6404ft) for a Greek salad lunch and fresh pressed apple juice.
In my village when I left it was a sweltering 37C but up at the top of the mountain a lovely 24C with a cool breeze!
Had a bit of run up in moderate competition with a 2017 Porsche - he was very quick on the straights but had no chance once we got into the into the hairpins!
For those of you familiar with Troodos village I had lunch at the Fereos Cafe (Photo with Porsche) then dropped into Mimmi's Restaurant in Platres for a Frappe (iced coffee) on the way back home - my Atom always gets some attention as there are only 2 Atoms currently in Cyprus!

Looks good Paul. Nice shots. Presumably Atoms are exempt from no parking on double yellows? :-)

Nice!
I see you have the lovely Ohlins. What compression and rebound do you run on the road? The factory sets them to softest on the front and 3 clicks from softest on the rear.

They are set 2 clicks harder at both the front and rear than the standard factory settings - this was on the advice of Steve Rook and is due to the higher summer temperatures in Cyprus.
I use the harder compound AD48 tyres which, again due to the much higher summer temperatures, perform much more like AD08s do in the UK - but are much more hard wearing and perform much better in the rain when I occasionally get caught out!

I simply chose a colour coordinated place to park that didn't clash with the Ohlins!!
