After the Mordialloc roundabout proceed down Nepean Hwy for about 300m & turn left at first set of lights & across rail lines. You are now on Station St, which has a bike lane and a lot less traffic than the Hwy, it runs parallel for around 8kms. You can cut back onto the Hwy just before Patterson River; there is a way through there on the bike paths that puts you on the Hwy further south, but I am not familiar with it, check a map. Proceed down Hwy to Frankston; you have the choice of Olivers Hill, which is steep, or cutting through the back roads from Bay st Frankston, slightly easier but still a climb. From the top of Olivers Hill just follow your nose down the Hwy until you get to Beluera Hill rd Mornington - turn right to get down to the bay & left to follow the Esplanade; this will take you to Dromana/Mcrae. This can be narrow & blocking cars is a sure way to piss everyone off so it's best to ride single file through here & pull over occasionally to let cars through. Anywhere along there is good for a stop/rest, Mt Martha has a good beach to take a swim. Safe Ride!
