Ride: This is a group ride to Sorrento at a moderate pace specifically for distance rather than speed. So, other than climbing the few short hills, we'll endeavour to keep close as a group. We regroup after hills and have one or two breaks, eg Safety Beach.
Speed: 25-30 kmh in a group on flat ground, winds permitting. (Typical speeds, not average).
Note: This is a ride intended for Upper Intermediates, please. There are some bike-lanes but not everywhere. You should be confident in traffic.
We meet in Frankston and ride to Mornington and beyond then via the esplanade and the rolling coastal hills of Mt Martha to Safety Beach. From Safety Beach it's a flat ride to Sorrento for lunch. After lunch, we will do a 15 min ride to the lookout before returning to Frankston.
Coming back is via the same route.

Getting there: Flinders St 8:27 train arrives Frankston at 9:31 and cycle with me to the Centre (see location map). I'll be on the train in the last carriage.
Driving? You'll need to park a little away from the Visitors Centre where it's not restricted parking. Please allow enough time to be early to the start.
The Visitors Centre has closed however toilets are available 50m south.
