On the Sunday we all went for a ride on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, along the route of a disused railway line. A return journey of approx 21km each way from Mooball to Murwillumbah on E-bikes hired from Northern Rivers Bike Hire.

On the way up we stopped for a coffee and a snack at Stokers Siding Station. At Murwillumbah we lunched in the Riverview Hotel, a popular spot for Sunday lunch.

If we were to return the bikes on time, then the southbound return ride needed to be much quicker than the outbound ride. Fortunately E-bikes have multiple speeds. I’d only used Eco on the way up, but I tried Sport on the way back. I didn’t need Turbo.
