Our November 2014 bicycle riding continued as the Silver Comet Trail of Georgia met the Chief Ladiga Trail of Alabama. The Chief Ladiga Trail is 32.7 miles of asphalt paved trail suitable for any non-motorized activities. Construction began in 1990 and was completed in 2007.
After having biked 10 miles from Cedartown, Georgia, we only biked another 13.7 miles to the Eubanks Welcome Center in Piedmont, Alabama to complete day three.
