Day one of the Gippsland Gambol bike ride starts at the old station in Korumburra. Took the car down to park for a week and cycled up the hill to Korumburra station
Good to see the sun out a bit after the overnight rain - fab colours
Group photo - against the rail trail and station background
Great Southern Rail Trail
Station from the front with rail trail on show
Easy riding along the ridge line with views down to the valley below - just starting to green up
Alpacas observing
Grand old homestead on a folding valley view with rail trail in shot
First trestle bridge carrying the road up above
Stopped in Loch for coffee - grand old building now housing a brewery and distillery. The end of the GSRT for today - onto roads to wend our way to the sea
Quiet zig zag of roads to Kernot - surprised to find a cafe/restaurant open in a community with just a few houses.
Start the drop down to the sea - zoom in and you will find a ship around the building roof. Onto Bass Rail Trail at the bottom of the hill
View from the valley back to where we rode from
Lunch stop under these trees - view up the rail trail back to the hills
Not exactly connoisseur lunch - salami sticks, cheddar cheese, baked beans sandwich
Lunch view down to the sea
A mix of road and dirt bike path from the end of the rail trail to the bridge to Phillip Island from San Remo
A bit of a slog along paved bike paths the 15 kms to Cowes. Boune over the slab joints, noisy traffic from the road, hedges obstruct the views. Pleased to get to the caravan park on the beach
Longest ride for many months - one tricky moment when bike went off track onto the grass - took a big yank to get it back. Did stay upright - whew!!
Showered - cycled to town to get a beer. Met up with the crew for dinner over the way. Good dinner and a ride home in the dark
