I'm testing out a group ride to Phillip island and Tooradin is half way there. Also calling out all or members in the South East So:
Central Melbourne breakfast coffee meet in St Kilda, cnr Acland and Shakespeare (Sister of Soul) Depart at 9.30 am. < MAP>
South Eastern members meet for breakfast coffee at Sofia's in Frankston. < MAP > Once everyone is together and stretched their legs, depart at 11.30 am
Then it's some back roads across the peninsula to Tooradin. I will probably vary the route over the coming days as it develops in my thinking. Happy to have our local members take over the ride and make the route more interesting.
Here it is at present: http://www.plotaroute.com/route/35269
What's in Tooradin? It's a fishing village so some nice photography and lunch there.
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 to Sofia's in Frankston for 2.30 pm.
