Wirral Egg Run 16th March - Thread to Arrange Ride in / Out to Meeting point

I think you will need to factor in the fact that 5000-7000 bikes will be heading for the same place. Also your route seems to be very similar to the Egg Run Route, but in reverse. This might cause a problem if we are late or if the Police stop traffic at junctions early.

Mike, yeah I know m8 ... but I'm banking on most of them using the M53 ... would you know if that has been the case in previous years? (it has seemed that way to me, but then past years I've not really ventured too far from Wallasey Village for obvious reasons).

As posted originally, most of the run IS actually the egg run in reverse well spotted however, I can easily change it if we are running late and due to the fact that most of it isn't exactly an inspiring route, I'll post up an alternative, which we can use as primary or secondary (see what folk think).

Cheers for the heads up on that though ... I'll factor those things into my alternative route

Most probably do use the M53 / tunnels cos it is only a short hop off the motorway to the start at New Brighton. Arriving off the M53 takes you over the egg run route, so even arriving very late (like me last year) you don't get snarled up.

With regard to a meeting place after - does the Raby pub do food? Its not that far from Clatterbridge.

Pete...everybody heads for the Tap, doubt you`d get a parking place never mind served an they don`t do food either.

So ... Tap's out ... and Mac, I don't know if the Raby does food or not but I could find out ... I'll also have a look around for alternatives (there's a McD's just a short ride away at the Bromborough Retail Park )
