Silver Comet Trail Coots Lake Rockmart to Hiram GA Seaboard Railroad Line
Silver Comet Trail Coots Lake Rockmart to Hiram GA Seaboard Railroad Line - 39 mile round trip bike ride on former Seaboard Air Line Railroad. Has tunnels, bridges and nice scenery and is a fun family ride. My favorite part is the tunnel near Rockmart.

Ride through the Silver Comet Trail in Rock Mart GA
GRITS Labor Day Ride 2008, AL/GA line to Rockmart
This shows views of the eastbound part of the GRITS Labor Day ride, including the final link in this trail. That section of concrete had been placed only a few days before. Landscaping and signs have since been added. The ride event helps raise funds for maintaining the sections of the Silver Comet Trail in Polk County, GA.
GRITS 2015 Labor Day Ride 2015, Rockmart, Cedartown, State Line and Back.
The Georgia Rails Into Trails Society (GRITS) hosted this ride event from Rockmart, GA, USA, to the Georgia/Alabama state line and back. There was an option to ride on roads for part of the return ride, but we used the Silver Comet Trail for both directions. This video does not show the steep hills that are between Rockmart and Cedartown, but you can hear cyclist Henry Hall and me talking about them. Henry's Trek and my Bike Friday both were equipped with low gears and we took our time on the climbs.
The train featured near the beginning went past where I had stopped at the Hendrix Road Trailhead, where the GRITS volunteers had a rest stop for us. They had rest stops in Cedartown and at the state line, and BBQ for us at the end of the ride. We really enjoyed our time on this ride event!

GRITS Labor Day Ride 2014, Cedartown, GA to Piedmont, AL USA
The Georgia Rails Into Trails Society (GRITS) group hosted this ride which had options to ride on parts of the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga trails, and some rural roads in the area as well. I spent most of my time on the trails and riding around Piedmont. This ride raises money to help take care of the Silver Comet Trail as it goes through Polk County.
If this looks familiar, it is because I took a similar video in 2010, but this one is higher quality and shows a few different scenes.

Silver Comet Trail Forward COMPLETE - Alabama Line To Smynra Georgia 61.5 Miles
This is the complete ride in the forward direction of the Silver Comet Trail starting at the Georgia Alabama state line and finishing in Symrna Georgia. Earlier that same day I also rode the Chief Ladiga Trail which is a 33 mile section of the same trail system that starts in Anniston Alabama and Ends where this trail begins. At the time of filming I was already tired and starting to feel the pain. As this ride goes forward you will see me get slower with each miles post until it gets dark and I have to ride in almost pitch black to get to the end. This was a tough ride.
THE SILVER COMET TRAIL, Georgia, USA
Cycling on Silver Comet Trail, Georgia to Chief Ladiga Trail, Alabama, USA February 16, 2014
GRITS Ride on the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga Trails, 9-4-2017.
This year, the ride started in Rockmart, Georgia, USA. The longer options had the riders climb the hills between Rockmart and Cedartown. The longest option had us ride to 7 miles west of the Georgia/Alabama border on the Chief Ladiga Trail.
Henry Hall and I rode this one again. We overshot the turnaround point by a half mile, so maybe we rode farther than any of the other riders!
This ride is hosted by the Georgia Rails Into Trails Society (GRITS) and it helps raise funds for the maintenance of the sections of the Silver Comet Trail in Polk County, Georgia.

CSX Train on Former Route of the Silver Comet Passenger Train, 9-6-2015
During the Georgia Rails Into Trails 2015 Labor Day ride, I was quite surprised to hear a train horn on this segment of the former Seaboard Air Line Railroad that goes through Polk County, GA, USA. I got out my phone and recorded what you see here. We were at a rest stop, which was set up for us at the Hendrix Road Trailhead and grade (level) crossing. Many of the riders you see here were riding from Rockmart to the state line and back.
The former route of the Silver Comet passenger train is abandoned from near Smyrna, GA to just east of Rockmart, GA, and also from just west of Cedartown, GA on towards Anniston, AL. But the line is still in use between Cedartown and Rockmart, and a line from Rockmart to Cartersville GA links this line with the rest of the CSX system.
The Silver Comet Trail parallels the railroad for parts of this segment. Caution, parts of this trail segment are quite hilly, even when near the railroad! It crosses this railroad several times. If you are approaching a railroad crossing with your bicycle, check for trains, and approach the tracks at a 90 degree angle, or walk your bike over the rails, if traffic doesn't permit that. To see how to do a safe crossing of a railroad track which is at a bad angle to the direction of travel, search YouTube channel for my video with the title Railroad Spur Track Crossing Technique for Bicyclists. It is not professional, but it is real.
Safe miles to you!
