Exploring the Mornington Peninsula!

The Mornington Peninsula, located about an hour south of Melbourne, Australia is a verified mecca for riding.
Stunning coastal views, some killer climbs and of course, some lovely bike paths make this one of the destinations to ride and holiday in Victoria.

This week, Pete Mills takes us on a trip from the entrance of Port Phillip Bay from Fort Nepean, up the coast to Sorrento and with a few inland deviations to climb up Arthur’s seat and into Red Hill.

All these routes have been filmed on bright blue sky days. Join us for a spin.

SORRENTO TO MORNINGTON

The beautiful Mornington Peninsula on Port Phillip Bay becomes a very popular tourist destination in summer. A flat training ride before reaching the hilly Mt Martha esplanade between historic towns of Sorrento and Mornington. One interesting moment was on the narrow scenic esplanade in Mt Martha when some of the wonderful charity riders of Tour de Cure and their support vehicle were travelling very slowly making it a very tight squeeze for cars and other cyclists to overtake. What became an awkward riding and filming moment actually became one of the features of the ride after slowly overtaking and encouraging them. The ride finishes at the very scenic Mornington Pier and yacht club.
