Please join us at the Square in Marietta on Wednesday, May 15th at 6:30 p.m. as we form a single file line of cyclists to ride around Marietta to honor or in memory of those individuals who have been struck by a car while riding their bicycles.

The route is approx. 10 miles long and we will ride at an average pace of 12 mph. The ride is to be done in COMPLETE SILENCE. Let's remind motorists that cyclists are out on the roads too and that we all need to be able to share the road safely.

Meet at 6:30, depart promptly at 7 pm.

Are you interested in collaborating and helping with the efforts in completing the remaining 3 miles of Silver Comet Trail to connect to the Beltline? If yes, we've created a new Facebook (& Google) group for that conversation. We'll still keep you updated on Bike Cobb's website & Facebook page on major events and updates concerning this initiative.

The Silver Comet trail has, for a long time, been three miles short of completion. The three mile section from the Mavell Road entry point to the PATH trail on the east side of the river at South Atlanta Road has not been finished, and if finished would connect a continuous path from the Beltline in Atlanta to Alabama.

Date: Saturday, April 13
Time: 1-4 pm
Location: Publix Parking Lot, S. Cobb Dr & East-West Connector
Bring: Long pants, comfortable walking/hiking shoes, water, trail snacks, camera, friends

Have you always dreamed of riding the Silver Comet all the way to the end of the Trail in Anniston, Alabama? Come join us this spring! Over 120 people have participated in this ride so far with Celeste. It is a great weekend of cycling!

This is a SAG supported ride.

The expenses based upon having 30 cyclists to share the costs are usually, $70 -$100 per person depending on whether you share a hotel room. Massage and beer are optional and additional costs.

This is a message I posted on Bike Forums:

I'm on the board of the River Line Historic Area in Cobb County. The RLHA focus covers the area along the Chattahoochee in Mableton, Smyrna, and part of Vinings.

Calling all Silver Comet Trail enthusiasts!

The Northwest Georgia Regional Commission (NWGRC) is conducting trail counts along the Silver Comet Trail – and they need your help! The effort is part of a planning study for the economic impacts of the Silver Comet Trail. The data collected as part of the study will help the planning team analyze who is using the trail, how many people are using the trail, when and why they are using the trail, and the broader regional impacts of the trail. It is all part of an effort to improve the Silver Comet experience for everyone.
