Just did the RockMart,GA to Piedmont, AL ride on the Silver Comet - Chief Ladiga trail. Between RockMart and Cedartown are some very steep and challenging mountains to climb. The original Comet trail there is being used by trains and they gave us some challenges going up and over. Be careful coming back down fast as there are many semi-sharp turns. They will get your undivided attention. Not boring at all!
