Thousands of motorcyclists coverged on New Brighton for the annual Egg Run “tribute ride-out” to raise money for good causes.

The original event was cancelled in 2013 after problems with funding, but bikers from Wirral and all across the country have been holding their own version every year since.

Watched by well-wishers, the riders set off from New Brighton Dips at 11am on Sunday in glorious spring sunshine.

The ride then travelled through Wallasey , Moreton, Hoylake, West Kirby, Thurstaston, Heswall and Thornton Hough, before heading through to Clatterbridge.

The ride finished at Claremont Farm, where donations were made to Claire House, Blood Bikes North West and the North West Air Ambulance.

In the spirit of the original event, which saw bikers delivering Easter eggs to children at Arrowe Park and Clatterbridge Hospitals, there was also an Easter egg collection point at the farm.

Last year’s event raised over £3,400 for Claire House, £860 for the Northwest Air Ambulance and £530 for Blood Bikes Northwest.

Organisers said: “We are hoping that the charities can do even better in 2016!”
