Will keep an eye out tomor for the estimate of the number of bikes involved this year. I think last years estimate was about 4,000 bikes taking part. I thought the atmosphere was fantastic... the roads are literally lined with people all clapping, cheering and wanting to shake hands etc. Must be the one time of the year that bikers actually get good press and how cool was it to be able to ride straight thru red traffic lights and just nod a quick thankyou at the policemen lol!!

How long did it actually take us to do the route? and what was our maximum speed en route??? i couldn`t see cos of the bunny sat in my fairing!

WHAT A DAY!!!

This was my first Egg Run and I absolutely loved it.

Just got home (went to see a mate of mine on the way back).

I'll go through the videos I took tonight and tomorrow and I'll post the decent stuff on YouTube.

I think what made it for me were the kids by the road, all waving and slapping hands with the bikers.

See you all soon.

Oh, and I hit about 120 at a couple of points on the ride and about 80 during the Run itself.

That was my fourth egg run, and the best so far.
It was amazing that the spectators were already out as we were riding into Wallasey. And even more lining the route on our way out.
The ride to Clatterbridge took me just under two hours. The ride home a little quicker.

Great to put faces to names, a grand day out me thinks.

Right

Piccies time:

Meetup at the Stanny Oak pub.




Our Bike Bunnies



The .ORG at the Egg Run Meetup


Intersting Costumes and bikes at the Egg Run Meetup








It warmed up during the day and this guy ended up roasting.






I know it's not a bike, but I think it deserves including.



Meetup at the Hospital (end of the ride)










The .ORG at the Hospital


Here's the picture Speedy Claire tried selling her friend into prostitution to prevent me posting.
