A Blue Bay Ride to the north western side Mornington Peninsula. It's a tour around the Bay to taking in Crib Point and Hastings for views across to French Is, and then up to Tooradin for lunch at The Old Jetty Cafe and Tearooms. All up, only about 200 km round. AKA the 'Pelican Poo' ride.
This ride is suitable for all bikes and rider experience, but there are a couple of unavoidable 100 kph short stretches. It's really just a nice cruise folks, to see some blue water and pelican poo. This ride is weather dependent > may BOM smile upon us.
Meeting again from 8.30 am for coffee at:
Station Pier Port Melbourne. At Mr Hobson cafe, park right out the front. <MAP>
Depart at 9.30 AM
Here it is at present: https://www.plotaroute.com/route/770704
What's in Tooradin? It's a fishing village so some nice photography and a quaint lunch venue there. Blue water. Pelican poo.
Tourist info: "Flowing through Tooradin is the tidal channel of Sawtells Inlet which meanders through pleasant parkland north of the highway. South of the highway, the inlet flows into Western Port. The eastern shore of the inlet caters for water enthusiasts and visitors with a boat ramp, jetty, a reserve with picnic and BBQ facilities, a boardwalk and a coastal lookout which provides panoramic views over the surrounding mudflats and mangroves. A wooden footbridge spans the inlet just south of the highway, with the sculpture of a Dolphin fish located on the western shore near the Tooradin Hotel"
We'll head back (via a secret back roads route to Frankston) to Cafe Moto in Carrum for a final coffee farewell.

Good ride today, we were lucky with the weather and it was lovely having new members Kerri and Andrew join us for this ride.
Fantastic, see you at Frankston Tony!
Hey Gavin. Meet you at Frankston
Hey team, I'll most likely meet enroute at Black Rock Clock Tower and pick you up there. But if I wake early I'll meet you at Pt Melb.
No worries Julie, will do!
Hi Gavin
Look out for new member Kerrie who will also meet us at Frankston pier.
Cheers Julie
Looks like the weather will be fine after a cold morning so I will be there. Have to see Mr Percival (he owes me money) My head can fit in his mouth. P Range ready to go. Needs fuel, oil, log book, air... better set an alarm.
