With a Suzy Quatro earworm[1], down to devilbend reservoir, and amazingly, the first 50+ km were all on off-road bike paths. Out the gate in the dark and Djerring trail to Yarraman, Dandenong creek trail down to Patterson Lakes, then freeway-adjacent paths through Langwarrin, Baxter to Moorooduc. It was only at Moorooduc where I turned off onto the roads, a short section of one then a long straight eight kilometres all the way to the dam. The last kilometre r was hilly and dirt, then all of a sudden you're at the dam wall. Decided to pick some variations for the ride back and went across the wall for a loop around to rejoin, one sideroad was marked as "Roadworks, no through traffic" so I cut that a bit short, rejoined Dervill road and started hearing back north. A quick visit to a farm-door honey sales -- I could have sworn I smelled coffee on the way past -- but no, only jars of honey for sale, so I grabbed one and kept going back to Moorooduc. Coffee & pastry and onwards to Baxter, then turn off and follow a lovely little bike path beside one of the rail lines down into Frankston central. From there it was back up the bay, Saturday morning bunches passing, some stopped for their turn-around coffees or regroupings, a nasty northerly headwind picked up and made the section from there to Mordialloc and past on to Mentone a slog. Turned inland up Charmain road and follow the well worn route home
