I'll definitely have to do this one.

Kyogle is my home town!

As a child I used to play at the family home of the property where Ripples is now located.

What a coincidence Gary

My brother and his family has lived at Kyogle for the last 30 years, you will be able to tell us all about the area, we will go to the Sunshine Coast after lunch to then go to the QLD RTE the next day.

Pockey,

Have you guys got somewhere to stay that night?

It's a nice ride from my place to the Pit Stop Cafe (the longish way).

I grew up at The Risk (southern end of the Lions Road). The road across from The Risk Public School was named after my Grandfather and My Great Uncle and one of my friends were in the Lion's Club and drove the Dozers that built the Lions Road.

Yes thank you Gary, we have a bed arranged for that night, then after the Pit Stop we are going to the Bunya Mountains I believe.

And thanks for the little history lesson on the name for the Lions road

On the Lions Rd there is a Lookout which used to be able to see the Border Loop before the trees grew back. There is a short walk where you can get to see this engineering marvel.

The border Loop is where the Train Line from NSW loops through a couple of tunnels to go over it self to gain enough height to go through the tunnel through the McPherson Range into Qld.

The Lookout is a nice place to stop and listen to the Bellbirds too.

Some of my ancestors came from Qld to NSW to help build the Railway and work in the local Timber Mills.

STroppy and I did the Lions road on the way to Yeppoon. It needs concentration as it has the most single lane bridges in a road I have come across. Oh, and a few blind crests that are fun, just watch for the cows on the other side. Next time I will do it in tourist mode, a lot slower and look around.

I should still be ok for this one and the Qld one. Cement slab being poured this Friday morning out the back so I can leave lunchtime or later. Just have to work out which way to go, but days to do that...

You gunna ride all over that wet cement

saaz · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2014, 04:52:36 PM »

Not that cement, but the driveway is next to redo once all the building stuff has stopped. None of this slippery grass into the garage that some have

The new OzSTOC Jacket prototype will be making a visit to this RTE.....if you haven't seen the Jacket yet...

You make an excellent point

My grassy slope leading into my shed can be a challenge when it's wet. Maybe you could fill your panniers with any left over cement and make a donation to my future driveway on your way though

They are doing the slab at the back this very minute. I will get them to fill the topbox as well
