Glasgow Easter Egg Run

The below is shamelessy copied from the Yorkhill website - linky - see some of you there no doubt.

There is NO registration needed for the 2013 event - Just turn up.




On Easter Sunday- 31st March 2013, Scotlands' motorcyclists will converge on Glasgows' Royal Hospital for Sick Children, commonly known as "Yorkhill" to deliver cash donations, toys and the odd chocolate egg or two.

After the imposed pre-registration of 2011 attracted a much expected backlash, the Police and Glasgow City Council agreed to drop this condition in 2012 and eveyone was much happier.

There route for 2013 will start and finish at Yorkhill as it did last "YEER" and takes in the traditional spectacular ride-out along Great Western Road.

Please meet at YORKHILL HOSPITAL from 11am for a 12pm noon departure. The route goes from Yorkhill, up Sauchiehall Street, Woodlands Road, Great Western Road, Crow Road, Rosevale Street, Benalder Street and back to Yorkhill. Entertainment will be on hand from Radio Lollipop and there will be plenty to eat and drink (not free - we're trying to raise money, not give it away!)

This year, we are asking for a suggested donation of £5 PER BIKE which will be collected on arrival at the hospital. Please consider making a donation this year rather than an Easter Egg as the hospital is inundated with chocolate at Easter and many of the patients are on special diets or nil by mouth and can't enjoy the eggs.

Financial donations mean that we can provide specialised medical equipment and other resources essential for the care of the children at Yorkhill. These of-course will go on long after the chocolate has been eated and forgotten about.

Want to donate NOW? Text "Easter" to 70707 to give £5 (of which the Foundation receives 100%).

If you would like to start your fundraising now, we can help by supplying sponsor forms, posters, flyers, collection cans and more. Please just get in touch on 0141 201 6917 or 0141 201 0723 or email on

PLEASE ENTER YORKHILL FROM DALNAIR ST FROM 11am

I'm hoping to make this, its weather and Hangover dependant... Unfortunately, I'm being forced into going to a family party the night before.

Maybe from me. Depends if I can be rrr'sed to ride up. Motorway is sooooo boring.

I'll be there for sure this year

I'm going along, got my ten raffle tickets and donated £10, look forward to meeting up with yous

We used to meet up beforehand and then ride along as a group. Would anyone be interested in getting something like this sorted?

Not only do I have a pass, but Mrs T says she is accompanying me. A most rare occurrence.

Could do aye.

I'm up for meet up before we get up there.

Group sounds good, not that there'll be too many SVs in it!

Where and when mate?

Now, they want us there for 11am. So I thinking (dangerous for me) we could meet up between ten and half ten in the PC World Carpark, in Finnieston, then head along just before 11.
