Live to ride Ride to live Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well peeps, what a great day out. Up to Birch services for 7.30am. Already there where about 3-400 bikes. Press, News, Tv etc....and of course the Police. Met up with Goff At 8.00, around 2-3000 bikes had gathered..exact figure...duno. 8.10am...set off down the motorway at around 10-20 mph, using all 3 lanes and a few using the hard shoulder. Yeah we had a police escort... Anyhoo..we got to Man Utd Fc ground and parked up on the main road, blocking all surrounding roads..we hadnt got 2 our destination at Salford Quays yet. After about 15 mins..we got moving again and set off for The Quays. Those that where there....cool ..those that werent..shame you couldnt make it, you missed an awsome day. After the protest.. Myself and Goff headed for Matlock Bath. New great shop there on North Parade (up an Arcade)....called Twisted Spanner. A great day out...and Goff thinks Im a nutter.. ..Maybe she will explain.

Moderator Goff Posted June 5, 2008 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yup fabulous day! Methinx we should protest more often We were SUPPOSED to go through Manchester town centre but we had to stop at Old Trafford cos the police wouldnt let us into the centre and diverted us to Salford Quays (as i have since found out) And yes you are a nutta paul - you made me laugh all the way home with your "antics"........*snigger* I have some piccies anywhoo - and a small vid - but i think pauls is better - and next time you should bring the dog! Before we set off at Birch Services: The yellow bike complete with matching panniers is L2R's TV Crew Total gridlock near Old Trafford Old Trafford Again L2R trying to look "casual" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
