Theo's Egg Run 2025
Participation cost a minimum donation of £2, with every penny raised going toward's the Sheffield Children's Hospital.
Early Start
It was an early start to the day, we met early morning at Europa Link on Tinsley Industrial Estate. Lots of people and bikes were already there when I arrived around 08:00 but it was relatively quiet, very quiet compared to what it became later on.
As more and more bikes arrived I had some breakfast and a coffee, it was quite a cold morning so the hot refreshments were most welcome. I managed to buy a Theo's Egg Run 2025 T-Shirt in super size so it'd fit over my KTM jacket and I popped it on.
KTM 890 Duke GP
After getting VERY hot on my Ducati Multistrada V2 last year, I decided to take the KTM instead. It's much easier in slow moving traffic as well.
Interesting Bikes
There was some incredible machines again, including this crazy creation from the same guy who brought the custom bobber I featured last year:
The official count was 883 bikes, that's such a good number and was impressive to see on the day.
James Toseland
The route was a seven-mile run from Europa Link on Tinsley Industrial Estate to Weston Park. Leading the way was Sheffield Children’s Hospital patron and two-time World Superbike Champion, James Toseland, riding a stunning Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, kindly loaned to him for the day by The Bike Specialists.
I had the chance to meet James Toseland and have my photo taken with him and the Ducati before we set off. It was a pleasure to meet him again - he's a genuinely nice chap.
The Ride
The ride was really well organised and expertly controlled by South Yorkshire Police. They stopped traffic for us and even allowed us to pass through red lights all the way up to the University roundabout.
The huge army of colourful and often-costumed motorcyclists would have been unmissable to pedestrians and passing cars alike.
Weston Park
This year, I decided not to complete the ride and left at the Shalesmoor roundabout, just before the final leg to the park.
Having spent so much time before the start of the ride, chatting to the bikers and looking at all the bikes I didn't feel the need to ride the whole route only to leave shortly after getting into Weston Park where the ride ended.
