The Chief Ladiga trail was my first "Rails to Trails" ride, and I must say it was almost too flat. Just miles of straight ahead flatness with absolutely no hills or turns can be rather onerous. Meeting new people, other cyclists, and good music made it a lot more fun.
I plan to ride the entire distance from Anniston (Chief Ladiga Trail) to the Georgia line, onto the Silver Comet Trail and all the way to near Atlanta. Spend the night, and ride it back the next day.
