Another great Sunday in Victoria. This morning, Shane (289), Paul (Puffy), Aaron, David and I met up the the Bay Street Bakehouse in Port Melbourne. A nice leisurely breakfast, then at 9.30 we got on our bikes and rode off. We Road along the beach of Port Melbourne admiring the scenery (lots of girls, and ok some boys too, jogging and roller blading along the foreshore.) We rode through the beach suburb of St Kilda and followed the 20 kilometers or so of beach Road. Lots and lots of lycra. Beach Rd is (in)famous for cyclists riding this road on weekends. At the beachside suburb of Mordialloc we got onto the Nepean Highway and road to the large bayside suburb of Frankston. (Yes on the beach) We then rode into the Penninsula suburb of Mornington which was cafe heaven. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. Keeping to the theme of beach, we then rode along The Esplanade and Marine Road through the bayside suburbs of Mount Martha, Safety Beach, Dromana then into Rosebud. This is where we left the beachfront and rode inland for a bit to a town called Balnarring. We stopped at the local hotel for lunch, but they had bookings for 120 people, plenty of room mind you, but too much cooking for an extra five, which would throw the chef into a tiz apparently, so they turned us away. Oh well, we left and rode into the seaside village of Hastings some 10 kilometers down the highway, where we enjoyed a lovely lunch. For you Queenslanders This is the marina area at Hastings. We then went inland again and rode back into Frankston, then onto the Nepean Highway and rode to a suburb called Edithvale. Rode through the Edithvale wetlands onto the major rode of Springvale Road and from there riders slowly peeled off and headed toward home. Another great Sunday in Victoria.
