3 riders (David J, Helen L and me – John M) who didn’t have Father’s Day breakfast today rode to Drysdale via the Bellarine Rail Trail. The new paved section from Curlewis to Drysdale is fantastic – smooth surface and proper drainage. Ride it, you’ll like it.  On the way home, Helen and I also rode along the new bicycle lane on Brougham Street. Another world class improvement – the only one in Geelong with safety buffer zone between parking lane and the bicycle lane. Thanks to City of Greater Geelong for the improvements. John M.
