SILVER COMET

Silver Comet Trail. 

The Silver Comet is 62 Miles from the Alabama border. We were dropped off at the border with the Chief Ladiga at the Alabama border and rode back to Atlanta.

45 miles of the Comet are reasonably flat while there are hills where it goes off the railbed. We took our time and had lunch stop at one of the towns along the trail, ending up in the Atlanta area at a hotel near the trail. As always, we planned daytime activities for the non riding spouses/significant others.
