Description: | Fluffers are like buses... none for ages, then two come along at once, with RTG scheduling one already for Thursday!
Ah, what a wonderful time of year it is. Peaks is still so far away you play games with yourself about when you need to lift your training. So I'm going to set myself a goal of a Festive 2000 during December and need to warm up for it....
Note slightly later than usual start time and I will turn back north at Cammeray to WFH.

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.
