With significant rain expected as far as the eye can see from Thursday, get the k's in on a dry, deliciously cool and possibly misty Akuna....

Green Eggs as ever are optional at BarCycle. Note I personally will be deviating from the FluFFer path at Balgowlah to return home via Wakehurst Pkwy and Roseville Bridge for school drop-off, so hopefully at least one other participant knows the way from Spit Bridge!

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.
