The easter egg run is always in march which annoys the fook out of me as i don't put my good bikes on the road until april.

I will probably come along anyway on fazer no2

... i used to go every year, but stopped a couple of years ago as it wasn't organised too well and the amount of bikes was getting mental!

Totally understand what your saying.
It's 27th March this year, so that's nearly April

Easter Sunday unfortunately changes every year.
The organisers do their best (I know from personal experience) but unfortunately things get out of hand due to either the unexpected amount of bikes turning up and also as it did last year, the police disappearing from the run leaving us all in a quandrom, have been told that won't happen again and we're trying to put stuff into place.

You ve seen where I work. Well no one wants to go abseiling in winter. This place closes so I have to head back down south. Nothing can stay here. Including the bike. So I rode it home, and it's going to be delivered back here in march. Dident see the point of it being here sooner.....because snow.

Cool, let me know when things are finalised. Would be good to finally catch up with fellow foccers.

Thanks
Colin

would love too but cant get the day off. apparently we have a couple hundred girl guides on site that dont leave till lunch time...

mickvp · « **Reply #18 on:** 15 February 2016, 05:41:10 pm »

Normally I would jump at the chance to help out Colin. But the problem is I'm a right poofta and the odds are if the weather is shit on the day I won't go, so for that reason I'm out

Saying that of the weather is good I'll be there

Not a problem Mick, was just throwing it out there, hopefully be a nice day and you'll turn up for the run anyway

Looney tune · « **Reply #21 on:** 25 February 2016, 04:49:01 pm »

Weather permitting, as in , no snow or pishing rain, I will be there with about another dozen from down here.

sinto · « **Reply #22 on:** 29 February 2016, 08:49:05 pm »

Just hward the latest news of the route, has to be moved from SECC!

THE NEW START POINT IS GREENDYKE STREET.

go here www.yeer.co.uk for more info.

This will be a shorter route but it's down to where the new hospital is, council and police.

I'm aware this is much shorter than we'd like but as it goes past both STV & BBC it may well turn out good for years to come.

I fancy a bit of this.... what do I have to do.. turn up with a chocolate egg strapped to the bike or something?!?
