But inspiring views and the awesome downhill to follow makes the effort worthwhile...

Saturday 6:45am we met at Scott's to head out for the Pauatahanui Puffer.

Moz organises this ride yearly: starting at the Pauatahanui shops/school/cafe it's two big loops: a loop up through Belmont Forest Park and a loop up Moonshine Road, Battle Hill Park and back across Transmission Gully paddock. 50km, climbs to around 450m and 400m from a bit above sea-level.

Good fun. Those hill climbs were hard, but we whipped around in about 4 hours with a few rests on the way - like when R's gears broke down completely.

I'm fit, but that early morning start was really hard.
