Okay folks, this is it. This is the one they call a "proper ride".

On the well-established principle that the only thing better than a 60 km pre-dawn commute along the beaches is one that's even longer and starts even earlier, be it hereby known unto all that a FluttER shall depart at five am and zero seconds, tomorrow Thursday 23 January, opposite Pattos in Snives.

After arriving at McCarrs creek road the Flutterati shall take the left turn down through Akuna, a road which is widely reputed to be downhill in its entirety, with the exception of the uphill sections.

A touch and go stop at Manly, right turn at the top of Parriwi, then into Barcycle for the traditional HMAWOTN breakfast of a single espresso and a slice of dry toast.

This version of the Flutter loops through Akuna and Church Point then runs straight down Pittwater Road from Mona Vale. It misses the beauty of the Full Flutters beaches but allows you to practice your time trial skills down the bumpy red bus lane.
