5.15 @ Pattos. Precipitation forecast is currently nil before 8am, but who knows in recent weeks. You might get a little wet, but the southerly we'll be riding into down the beaches should dry us off nicely. And it won't be dark for the first 3.5 hours of the ride like yesterday. Or cold. Go on. Go on, go on. 

See you there RTG. 

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.
