I will try to commit pending work and family but should be a good thing. I have done a similar ride from Lynbrook- cranbourne - frankston - Mordialloc and back via Greens Road and I think you will be probably talking about 70km's does this sound about correct
Be good to catch you again Greyhound been away a while for work and missesd getting to Casey to wht vets.

I've put it up on Bikely but think we'll need to work on the route back to Hampton Park from Frankston (I've only put it through main roads to make a loop but not sure on their suitability) - anyone that has a route, let me know (or we could just head back the way we came?).

Looking forward to it.. I'll make sure I finish my last beer at 2.55am

Because I had a trip planned to go to Cairns and visit my son for a fortnight retuning on Queens Birthday weekend, I bought a bike bag so that I could take my bike to Cairns with me and get some training in.
Unfortunately I struck a snag taking the bike with me on the flight at the last minute, and I’m now in Cairns without a bike to ride.
While I will do my very best to be there if I think I’m going to be able to handle the trip, there is a chance I may have to wimp out of this one.
Cheers,
Tom

Roads suggested from Frankston to Hampton parrk are fine ridden them a few times and alot of widening etc has taken place on cranbourne frankston road with bike lanes. Sth Gippsland also pretty good as has a nice shoulder and below shows a similar ride I did which was 75ks although I did it in reverse direction and came back on thompsons road which I would not suggestI've put it up on Bikely but think we'll need to work on the route back to Hampton Park from Frankston (I've only put it through main roads to make a loop but not sure on their suitability) - anyone that has a route, let me know (or we could just head back the way we came?).
I would suggest you do not need to change anything on that route but I know it well and can lead you around some other paths including shortcuts if needed if route does not take peoples fancy
Looking forward to ride

Out of curiosity, what kind of average speeds do you guys generally ride at (on rides like this over 40km)?
Just trying to decide if I want to add on a few km’s by riding from home (if I drive, I know I'll buy a Macca's breakfast on the way home, and I really don't need it)

I got my bike from Ivanhoe but can't be bothered taking it back there for a service all the time (had my first one so the warranty's cool).. I've wandered into Goldcross a few times but it just feels like a Bunnings with bikes (and they staff are just as hard to find)..
Where do you guys go for the stuff you can't (or don't want to) get online?

Happy to show you a few roads if need be but what is listed should be fine, maybe follow greens into hutton into rear of Mordialloc instead of springvale down to edithvale, Edithvale reoad has no shoulder and rides through wetlands so only a single lane from memory work it out on day
Figures for that ride from the Garmin
Distance 72.92km
Time 3.07
Average speed 24km (mind you I do not really stop it at lights etc) but around 25 to 28 is comfortable
Max speed 56.54 km
I am a bit of a clysdale so dont expect me to be pushing you guys, I am a bit concerned that I wont be able to keep up

I'm happy with an average speed around mid-high 20's, but we can just judge it as we go - make the rule now that we only ride as fast as the slowest rider...

Also signed up for the Degani Kinglake ride (120km)... signed up in the <4.5hr group for that
Maybe once we've all ridden together a few times on easier routes we can do a 1:20 ride... I haven't done that yet but am definitely keen to test myself..

Lots of pro looking riders on it at times. I want to be well prepared for that one.

Distance 63.9km
Average speed 25.1km
Time 2:33
Including lights etc
Suggestions would be to reverse route because :
1. Only real Hills are on Cranbourne Frankstone Road so get them out way early and reverse route is likely more sever as fairly consistant uphill from Frankston to Langwarrin
2. Roadworks on Cranbourne Frankstone Road. By heading to Frankston first will avoid them as they are predominatly on the other side of road and impede
Else route is good, worse part of route is between Greens Road and McDonalds near the round about where no shoulder

Anyway my 2 bobs worth

Potential late cancellation. Sons B'Day Party is same day.
I need to be at Ballam Park about 10:30 ~ 11:00 to get hold of BBq area and set up so pending which way you do the loop you are welcome to stop in for a drink and Snack as it is in the playground just near karingal.
I have a couple of options if I wish to join
1. If we went original route I can join you ands stop off at Ballan Park on way back. If we leave at 8:00 I suggest we will be there for 10:30 ~ 10:45
2. Leave earlier say 7:00 so I am back by 10 ~ 10:30 as I think it will only be about a 3 ~ 31/2 hour ride.
3. Ride tro Mordialloc with you and jump off at Edithvale as you return towards Frankston and shoot home
Let me know else I will take a rain check.
