Silver Comet Trail

Me too...I rode by it yesterday...

I've started to ride the comet at least once a week. I have been warned that it isn't safe to go past the 25 mile mark on the depot alone due to the potential of predators in areas which are not heavily used by pedestrians and cyclists. I always have to resist the urge to ignore the warning, but passing Jennifer Ewings memorial always reminds me that no one should take their safety for granted. Sad fact of life.

Best time for cyclists on the weekend-early Saturday morning at around 8-9 before everyone and their dogs hit the first 3 miles of the trails. The presence of kids and walkers with head phones have caused a few nasty spills for riders but I love the change from the rolling hills of Stone Mtn where I'm exhausted after 40 miles. I'm looking forward to doing at least 70 miles this weekend.
