Not long to go now! For those of you who will be joining us on this year's North Run this Saturday 23 July, we've put together a document that you can download and print out so you know exactly what the plan is for the day including where all the pick up points are (including postcodes for those of you with sat navs). All times are of course estimates.
The event kicks off at 9am at Pedstop HQ here in Carlton, Barnsley once again. 9am is the time the rideout begins so make sure you're there a bit earlier. Details of how to find us including maps and directions can be found here.

CASTLE SYKE HILL
This year's destination is Castle Syke Hill, Ackworth, Wakefield where riders can relax and unwind in the countryside after the rideout. Camping is free so bring a tent, have a barbecue! Fun and games at Castle Syke Hill include a bucking bronco, a tug of war comp, the incredible human wrecking ball, providing the soundtrack will be the DJs and later on during the evening our pole dancers Stacey and Hayley Downing will be there to entertain. Catering vans serving food and refreshments will be present at the venue and toilet facilities.
NORTH RUN 2011 *FREE MERCHANDISE!*
FREE TEES! We've got 500 NORTH RUN 2011 t-shirts up for grabs! These are only available to attendees and won't be available after the event, so make sure you grab one on the day. The t-shirts feature the North Run 2011, Pedstop logos and our sponsor's logo - the mighty Polini.
As usual free NORTH RUN stickers will be available too to all attendees - one sticker per rider.
NORTH RUN 2011 AWARDS
We've got some ace trophies to award this year. For anyone entering their bike for an award you’ll need to line up into the correct area which will be pointed out to you at Castle Syke Hill. Anyone entering the competition chooses an appropriate category from the following and you can only enter one category:
• Best Peugeot
• Best Gilera
• Best Yamaha / MBK
• Best Aprilia
• Best Piaggio
• Best Import
Within the above categories we're looking for the best example of each make of scooter. So you don't necessarily need to have a full blown custom scooter to enter any of these categories. If you own one of the above makes of scooter then you can enter.
• Best Burnout
Throughout the course of the day we'll be on the lookout for the best burnout, preferably caught on camera.
• Ruff Scooter Award
Think rat bike / Mad Max style and you get the idea. Rough looks good too!
• Best Custom Scooter
As the title says really, best custom scooter can be any make or model, fully customised or part customised, tuned or standard engines, geared or auto.
We'll keep you posted with any last minute news about this year's North Run here on our blog and on Facebook.
In the meantime, reminisce the madness of last year's North Run!
