11:49 - Ride report #10


Another 45 km travelled on the mountain bike last Saturday, this time with a friend of mine. Home to Frankston to Baxter to Somerville to Tyabb to Hastings, then back to Somerville. The Baxter to Somerville bit is a bit hairy because they still haven't built the missing link between the Frankston-Baxter and Western Port Bay trails, so we had to ride on the road. Riding along Frankston-Flinders Rd is the worst bit. Fortunately it's only a relatively short distance (just over 2 km).

The Frankston-Baxter trail still doesn't reach Baxter shopping centre, which I think is pretty incredible. Instead, it stops 1 km short, at Golf Links Rd, with nowhere to go really. It's been that way for at least two years.

Aside from some bumpy bits and a few road crossings, the ride along the Western Port Bay trail was really relaxing. I would've liked to have gone further south, but it was getting dark. Next time!
