So meet up time at The Stanney is gonna be 09:15 - leaving no later than 09:30 so that we can be at Tesco's, Bidston for 10am. The run to New Brighton took me 2 - 3 minutes ... but if we need I'm sure we can afford to hang around at Tescos for stragglers for 15 minutes Now just need to sort meeting place for AFTER the run. But I will post up details of that in the Rideouts section (since it's for everyone, not just the Border Patrollers). |

Ok, what I actually meant (for the pedantic amongst us) is that I rode from New Brighton, down the egg-run route but instead of cutting off to Clatterbridge Hospital, I carried on down the Park Gate Road heading towards Chester and Cheshire Oaks, arriving at The Stanney (that took about 30 minutes). Then I rode the same route back to New Brighton. That again took about 30 minutes. I took it easy going through the town centres of West Kirby, Meols and Moreton. But opened it up going down Park Gate Road ... but I'm sure the bloody traffic lights down there are well timed to stop you picking up too much speed. No sooner had I picked up speed, there was another set of lights which seemed to be aimed solely at slowing me down. Still ... I suppose it gave me a chance to practice my emergency braking One set of lights in particular was annoying, they changed as I approached (so I'm guessing they were triggered to change by my approach), but there was absolutely nothing coming from the road on the right but even so, the lights still went through their cycle Anyhooos ... was nice just to get out for a bit of a blast - even if it WAS bloody windy down that Park Gate road! |

Nice logistics there! seriously tho you`ve done your homework, the meet up prior to the run is organised and timed so lets now try and come up with a meeting point for everyone for after the run.
The Wirral is your neck of the woods hun, can you think of anywhere? Tap will be over run are there any pubs with large car parks around the Clatterbridge area? |

Ok, got a couple of "possibles" for the meet after the egg run, but I will ultimately need to know numbers as I'd like to phone the place(s) and make an advance booking, if I can, and also to give them some warning
Watch out for the poll ... coming soon! |

What about heading back to meet up at the Stanney after the run? if we`re going for a bit of a ride afterwards we`ll no doubt be heading in that direction anyway, big car park and is easy to find from Clatterbridge. It looked like the sort of place that`d do food too
