Hey Guy's, while I was down south I made a visit to Anniston, Alabama. The Western Terminus of The Chief Ladiga Trail. Alabamas Longest Rail Trail, starting in Anniston and ending at The Georgia Border. The Trail is well maintained and 33 miles of smooth black top. At the Georgia border starts Georgias Longest Rail Trail, also paved, The Silver Comet Trail. The Silver Comet trail heads east nearly into downtown, Atlanta. Im going to have to come back for that one.
I had a great time out and back on The Chief Ladiga Trail for a 66 mile day. This trail makes my list and is a must ride. Looking forward to heading back to the south to see what other trails I can find. Catch you on the trail.

Love that early morning sunrise in the background

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

For sure.

Alabama side is asphalt, Georgia side is concrete. Tree roots are bucking up the pavement, be careful and look out for them. Very nice, start early and enjoy the ride!

Thank you for sharing Very informative & enjoyable

A tip from a cold weather winter cyclist in Iowa, buy a pair of cycling sandals. With them you can layer several pair of wool socks on your feet without pinching your toes. We often ride in single digits, at night.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Single digits at night, backwards? thats crazy. Thanks for the tips.

@kitchencarvings4621 2 года назад

I admire you for getting out there no matter what the weather.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

I live that bike stuff

@walterbright1396 Год назад

Thanks for posting about this and the George connecting trail. Didn’t know they existed. 20 years ago I discovered Florida’s trail system. I live in NJ and I would head south to ride there during winter. Some seem so different than I expected. Seeing cowboys rounding up cattle along a trail there was not what I was expected. Might give this a try sometime.

@TravelingThru222 Год назад

Awesome. Yeah these rail trails are pretty great, its always fun getting to a state border, so cool that Alabama and Georgias longest Rail trails meet. See you on the road.

@BlackWarriorLures 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, it gets colder than you'd think down here, but it usually warms up nicely by afternoon.

@sonalmalhotra07 2 года назад

Good Job with the video as usual. I just painted and "updated my drivetrain on my bicycle" and ready for a ride.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Sounds great!

Sweet trail, dude.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Alabama was a lot nicer than expected. Many more trails to ride down south.

@waynoinsaneo 2 года назад

I hope you hit up the Silver Comet Trail. Its a pretty fun local ride, normally full of nice as heck people.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

I didn’t do it on this trip, maybe next time.

@Sheltondoesthings 2 года назад

Thats my home state. Im on the road at the moment, but would love to catch a bike ride with ya sometime! Cheers!

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

For sure, catch you in The Talladega.

@mooreoutdoor9841 2 года назад

Ya gotta do The Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga together. Great Ride! The Comet is concrete so it's smoother than the Ladiga. Pretty hilly between Cedartown and Rockmart though. Lots of good stealth camping until just before Dallas. After that it's very populated and there are cameras along the trail.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

I hear the comet is a smoother ride. Beautiful area down there. Thanks for the stealth camping tips.

@michaelnotigan7796 2 года назад

What a gem of a trail! Here in New Jersey we are so far behind other states who've built trails such as this one. Safe journey back to PA!

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

I hear ya. Everywhere I go I see signs of bicycle infrastructure being built. It's just a matter of time with Jersey I guess. Catch you on The Paulinskill.

What an awesome trail and that bamboo forest was great. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Alabama was a great time, looking forward to going back.

@chardontimes8392 2 года назад

Whoa your in Alabama! Im thinking about doing Anniston to Atlanta

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

You should. Its a great, super easy trail, passes thru awesome scenery.

@yokkaichi1 2 года назад

Thanks for the update. Sweet trail! Didn't know bamboo would grow that well there. Regards to Henry.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Yeah, that bamboo forest was pretty awesome. Cat says hi.

So cool you can ride the trail from alabama to georgia !! Ready for the temps around here there coming soon

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Spring is on its way.

@mentholmoose6705 2 года назад

Just a fair warning if I ever encounter the Traveling Thru schoolie your not getting away without either a coffee and a cigarette or a beer and pizza. Hope Henry the cat is doing well. Oh yea thats a nice trail.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Awesome, can’t wait. Maybe all four. Catch you on the trail.

Gorgeous area, my daughter lives near TN border in AL

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Very cool! It I so nice down there. The Talladega National Forest really reminded me of The Black Hills of South Dakota. Looking forward to heading back.

@aceleaf 2 года назад

An excellent ride. The placid weather. Very few people. Hope the video to be little longer next time.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Cool, I'll make them longer. Thanks for watching. Alabama really has a nice trail there. Looking forward to heading back.

@freedomwon2004 2 года назад

Wow! That's an awesome trail. The Bamboo was super cool too. I know you have your Skoolie to camp in but if you didn't would you be able to camp somewhere along the trail?

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

The trail cuts Thru the Talladega national forest, primitive camping is allowed around the Pinhoti trail. So, yes.

@dondonner1095 2 года назад

We need Van conversion updates please.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

For Rill, working on it. Living in the bus full time and freezing weather has slowed progress. However the bus is going to be in an arts festival outside Pittsburgh in early July, Its going to be painted in the middle of a huge festival, and I would like to have the bus near completed by then. Like solar panels and the whole deal. So stay tuned and much more to come, and this is going to start in about a week. Best update I can do for right now, catch you on the road.

@dog-so1vj 2 года назад

The Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga trails are definitely on my bucket list. 🪣 Watching your channel has been a huge motivation for me. I've even taken up hiking, that is day hiking for now. What is your favorite activity, hiking or cycling?

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Awesome, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy what’s going on over hear. I guess for the moment I’m more into cycling, but definitely like to get out on foot. I’m thinking about doing The PCT for next year. That’s cool you have been getting out more.

@tmb8659 2 года назад

Imagine how many people you inspire to get on a bike, and how that gets them out of a car and then reduces impact on global warming. Congratulations.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

Hey, never thought about that, very cool. Traveling Thru saving the Earth, nice.

@douglasldn2831 2 года назад

How is your cat doing and by the way nice ride.

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

That was one sweet cruise, kitty is doing great.

@therapyhouse4164 2 года назад

You don't carry to plastic door bags to put over your feet if it's too cold? (Inside your shoes)

@odgreenoutdoors20 2 года назад

Is their camping spots on that trail or the silver comet trail ?, I didn’t even know those trails existed, it’s not to far from me

@TravelingThru222 2 года назад

I didn't see any specific camp spots on The Ladiga, however the Trail passes Thru The Talladega national Forest, where you can basically camp anywhere along some basic guidelines. The Pinoti Trail comes Thru there, its a major national scenic trail, and those Thru hikers camp somewhere. I would definitely stealth camp on both of these trails.

@george8686 Год назад

What is that jacket. Great videos!

@george8686 Год назад

The green one

@TravelingThru222 Год назад

That would be The Enlightened Equipment Apex Torrid. $180. Warmest, lightest, best coat I ever owned. Well worth the price.

@bethelshiloh Год назад

You came by our house.

@TravelingThru222 Год назад

Awesome, beautiful trail. Next time I’ll swing by.

Alabama has some of the best terrain for cycling with the worst drivers in the country I am one of a hand full that commutes on a bicycle should I record all my trips to show how bad things are
