dist. Today 134km Trip total 134km
Got up bright and early to ride around to Paulus’, then to sit around with coffees for half the day waiting for Evanovitch to turn up — he did have a reasonable excuse, having been working until 3 am this morning.
Eventually the six of us were organised and headed off, Riccardo was having trouble keeping up, the poor lad hadn’t been on a bike for years and decided to come along for fun! We stopped at Hoppers Crossing to wait for Kathy in the car, he got in and the remaining five kept riding.
Dropped in on some friends of Evan’s who are rebuilding an old wooden yacht at a boatyard down near Geelong, then pushed on to Point Lonsdale, arriving there sore, tired, and in need of warm clothing, since the temperature had dropped.
Kathy and Riccardo arrived, then Mat and Jo from their boat-building, so we piled into the cars and headed into Queenscliff for dinner at the pub. Pub number one was way too expensive, $4 for a pot of beer, so it was off to pub number two. A filling dinner, a rambling conversation, the purchase of a bottle of port, and back to the house to sip and to sleep.
Where?
Hoppers Crossing, Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff
