Been out a few times. Weather is far too nice not to take advantage. Out for a blast on Wednesday with Chris and his 3.5, can’t wait.

Just back from a 15 mile 1/2 hr blast. Hot quiet roads, hot tyres, bloody marvelous.

It's starting to feel that way Tony :vroom:

Does anyone think there may an appetite for reviewing the London Dawn Raid, initially pencilled for Sunday 7th June? I know you said Saturday the 6th [mention]Cjg62[/mention] - is the 7th a no go for you?

Just testing the waters really. My Nomad has been in lockdown in Crewkerne for 2 months now, but it may be back in a couple of weeks, fingers crossed...

What are folks feelings towards outings at the minute?

Each to their own but it's 'probably' stretching credulity to think a convoy of Atoms in London, especially, could all be meeting up to go for a walk.

Cheers,

I finally decided to tax the Atom in early April and have been taking it for a fun-filled (not) 10 mile round trip to visit my elderly mother in Truro whenever I could, and had managed to drive just over 100 miles in it.

This weekend I decided to go further afield and managed about 75 miles driving around the very quiet roads here in Cornwall. There were quite a few "weekend" cars and lots of motorbikes out and about. As you can see from the photos, St. Ives was stunning in the sunshine, but I have never seen it so quiet, even in the depths of Winter. Whilst it is lovely to have such quiet roads and empty beaches, the effect on our local economy is devastating, which takes the shine (forgive the pun) off things somewhat...

Just make sure that while driving around London you are all socially/responsibly spaced at least 6' apart - then what's the problem with an Ariel convoy?
