Once again got up late cause my hosts were up late. I said farewell to the puppies and off I went.
I went about 15 miles (not exactly sure, cyclometer stopped working) to get to the Silver Comet bike trail, an awesome 75 mile trail is Georgia (another 25 in Alabama) which was converted from an old railroad bed. After crossing the chaos and poor pavement of Atlanta, this was heaven.
It was nice to see, as a parks & rec person, so many different people using this space for so many different things. It was well maintained, had good signage and most people seemed to respect it
I camped at a little campground off the trail, first time camping on the trip. Its finally warm enough to camp. Did I mention to all of you in Colebrook, NH that its 80 degree and sunny here? Down to 60 at night. Beautiful. I'm eating ice cream regularly now.
I will cross into Alabama in the morning and start making my way to Tupelo, MS where I will meet up with some riders there and ride part of the Natchez Trace Parkway. I have a few days in between though. Total as of today is 1,466 miles!
