Paparazzis Final Fluffer

With our Pap off to France, it seems only right to celebrate with what we know is his favoriate ride, the classic fluffer. I know it's early but even Ravi is coming.

Aren't you Ravi.

Meet opposite Pattos St Ives at the godawfully early time of 5:15am. Your reward is to watch the sun come up as we cruise around the golden shores of Church Point, scout the ocean for whates and finally arrive at Bar Cycle in time for green eggs. And what better way to ensure you deserve after work beers at the Greengate (assuming still awake). 

 

The Fluffer is a 56km ride that starts from opposite Pattisons Bakery in St Ives at 5.15am on every Tuesday and Thursday during the year. It normally arrives at the B&T between 7:30 and 7.45 am. This is a fantastic confidence builder and caters for all levels of rider from 'my first long ride' through to 'established riders'. Target speed is 23 to 26km/h. The Fluffer incorporates a number of different riding styles including group riding, a long descent, rolling groups, steady climbs and normal group commuting.

This ride is normally led by a ride leader who will ensure that the pace is OAFATSR, with frequent regroups, manage the ride and ensure all enjoy the experience. A short stop at Manly ensures that bottles can be refilled, views enjoyed and occasionally some people will even take a dip in the surf!

Please make sure that you have good lights for the winter rides.
