Lions Road
Lions Road
    Had a chance last week to ride the Lion's Road on my way back from delivering a vehicle to Coffs, I had the bike on the back of the delivery ute. The road is north of Kyogle and comes out at the Mt Lindsay Highway.

    I think to ride this road southwards, then over to Uki - Murwillumbah - Natural Arch and north again would be a good one day ride for reasonably quick riders. But there are camping areas on the Lion's Road , which incidentally has a lookout over the 'Border Loop', a spiral system to get trains over the range, and could be a good camp over trip. Cheers, Pat

    I know it well Pat, I have ridden this one in the past to get to Coffs via the scenic route (starting with a loop around Somerset Dam to make it interesting), and rode it again recently, there and back, on my eventful trip to Byron Bay - the bike bending one. It is an excellent road, though a little bumpy. -- Steve/Gizmo
