Nacelle Report – July 2021

Happy days are here again!!! Covid rules relaxed during May and despite a lot of wet days, we managed five ride-outs and restarted our Thursday club nights in person.

Our first ride was to Whiteways Takeaway Kiosk at Bury Hill in West Sussex, a well known biker meeting point. The following week we rode to Popham Airfield. No planes were flying, but the café was open. Next was a mid-week ride to the Flower Pot Inn and Brewery in Hampshire, a great venue with outside seating, good food and excellent beer. After two wet weekends without rides, we had a mid-week ride to the H Café, a leisurely browse round the motorcycle clothing shop next door and then rode on to the Court Hill Centre near Wantage. The sun shone on the last Sunday of the month and we went for a long ride through the majestic scenery of Salisbury Plain to Compton Abbas Airfield. We were lucky enough to see an old US Marines plane landing.

We had our last virtual club night using Zoom on 13th  May and on the 20th  May, we had our first real club night since November. We all enjoyed being back at the BCSA even with the new Covid restrictions.  

We’re looking forward to more rides and club nights and we are hoping to be able to hold our Old Motorcycle Gathering show on 17th July. Let’s hope Covid rules allow it and the sun shines for us.

Keep on rolling!
