The Silver Comet Trail is a great resource that many locals take for granted.
It does get boring after riding so many times and local motorists think that we should be on the trail rather than on the road. "But I'm going to Marietta. The Silver Comet Trail doesn't go to Marietta" is the way I have ended more than one conversation.
Even so, 50% of my rides incorporate a small section of trail in one way or another and it has gotten many onto bikes and in better health. I know guys into their 70's who ride 20 miles daily.
One of the main benefits is the ability to take the trail to other places to ride. I can ride 10 miles west and there are amazing roads to ride just off the trail. It's a gateway to better road riding IMO. As an example see the Braswell Mountain Road pictures below.
