Nicole Snyder is running the She Rides program for women who want to cycle to improve their fitness and skills.

Opening the road for women cyclists mountain bikes. Life got in the way of my cycling hobby 10 years ago and I’ve only recently returned to it,� Mornington Peninsula She Rides leader Nicole Snyder said. “I know what it’s like to struggle to balance life, work and family with our leisurely pursuits, so I’m excited to show women that it is possible to have it all. I hope to bring women the same joy I felt when I got back on a bike.�

A FUN activity called She Rides aims to help women on the Mornington Peninsula regain their cycling skills, improve their fitness and create a social network. She Rides was created after Cycling Australia found most women would ride more if they felt safer, more confident in their abilities and had an organised group to ride with. It is being offered for road and

119 Ocean Beach Rd. Upstairs (cnr. Darling Rd.)

The peninsula She Rides program is limited to nine participants and one leader. It has three tiers: For those looking to restart their riding after a long break; for those who have riding skills but are looking to ride for fitness and community reasons; and for those wanting a group riding experience to improve their fitness and riding skills.

VICTORIAN politicians are again playing political football with infrastructure – not the abandoned East West Link but the state’s future port needs and the fate of Port Phillip. And the Liberal and Labor “players� in their nice new shiny jumpers with no actual mud on them have been joined by a ring-in from another team – federal environment minister Greg Hunt, who is no doubt wearing his Team Australia jumper and knows the field of play quite well being a Victorian and living on the peninsula near Melbourne’s vast waterway. The past few weeks have seen claim and counter-claim about what will happen if the Andrews Labor government leases the Port of Melbourne to one of the big shipping companies for 70 years. It hopes to receive $7 billion, which it will use to remove 50 of the state’s worst level crossings over the next eight years as well as building Melbourne Metro, the West Gate Distributor and other transport projects not yet announced. No new container port The state Opposition claims the government will have to give the shipping company a monopoly to get the best price. This means no new container port at either Hastings or on the western shore of Port Phillip, the so-called

Bay West option proposed between Werribee and Geelong. The squabble over the two locations has been a long political football game – in the early 2000s, the Labor government proposed expanding the Port of Hastings over 25 years in three stages. It spent a bucket of money on reports and consultants. But something was amiss as the Port of Hastings land use and transport strategy was completed in September 2006, but the government stalled its release until March 2007 and again until December. Labor government ports minister Tim Pallas finally found time to visit Hastings in August 2009 to explain the plan to stakeholders, but still nothing happened. Labor lost government to the Liberal-Nationals Coalition in 2010. The Coalition picked up the Hastings ball with ports minister Denis Napthine in mid-2013 committing $110 million over four years to do economic and scientific studies. Labor lost interest in Hastings and started promoting Bay West. Why did it spend all that money and time looking at expanding the Port of Hastings? The game entered the fourth quarter last year when the Coalition lost government after just four years in office. The Labor government cut the cash for Port of Hastings planning, devastating the expectations of many people. Continued Page 8
