Chief Ladiga Silver Comet Trail Connection - Update

by Larry Lagarde

This morning, Edwin McBrayer (executive directory of the Path Foundation) provided a quick update regarding the project to connect the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga bike trails (2 rail trails that together will allow cyclists to ride from Anniston, AL to the outskirts of Atlanta).

Although the state line connector of the 2 trails was completed in May, there are still 2 short but major gaps on the trails. As a result, riding both trails from end to end will probably not be possible until next spring.

Once cyclists can ride both trails continuously, the govenors of both Alabama and Georgia have expressed their interest in marking the occasion with a ribbon cutting. Naturally, a variety of other local dignitaries, trail benefactors & cyclists will be making the event and there will be a group ride too. As soon as a date for these events becomes more firm, I'll be announcing that info here so cyclists that would like to participate can attend.
