2025 is the 25th anniversary of Cloud 9 Birkenhead scooter club’s Storm the Fort.
It’s an annual event in June that traditionally lands on Father’s Day, that originally was born out of a Father’s Day rideout by the Manchester Lazy Aces SC to New Brighton’s Fort Perch Rock in Wirral 30 years ago.
Cloud 9 embraced the suggestion of hosting Storm the Fort scooter meetup every Father’s Day since.
When is it?
Sunday 15th June 2025, which is Father’s Day. Scooterists normally rock up from 12 noon onwards.
Who do we support?
This year, Cloud 9 Birkenhead support the Merseyside and Cheshire Blood Bikes. As a Community Interest Company, any fundraising monies go direct to the charity on the day of the event.
