Wirral Egg Run 2009 (Report)

Rather than put a new post up which would moved our Bunny Run post down the list, I have edited the old Wirral Run post. Well 8 scooters assembled at Clubbies on a very cold and frosty morning and with the clocks going forward it made it seem that much earlier. 6 scooters set off at 9-30 for New Brighton, with Gary and Perry staying behind to work on Gary's SX, which was playing up a bit. We had a very pleasant run up through the wirral and started to meet load of bikers at the Leasowe end, so a slow ride into New Brighton to meet up with the thousands of bikers and a good few scoooters, which were all sheperded into a side road by the stewards. After a long cold wait for our turn to join the queue we finally got going, through Leasowe village and onto Moreton, the huge crowds that lined either side of the road were tremendous all waving and cheeering, with everyone tooting their horns back. After a very long and tortuous journey, which was mainly on and off the clutch, we finally arrived at Clatterbridge Hospital, which was absolute mayhem with hardly any parking spaces left and most of us got separated from each other. However it was great fun to be involved in such a big event and out on the road with so many other vehicles on a lovely sunny spring day - not a bad start to the scootering season.
