It has been such a treat to be on the trail and off the road these last 3 days, with no cars to worry about and few dogs to out ride.
We thought the trail would be busy this holiday weekend but we saw more turtles, rabbits, deer and fox than we did people.
We did meet up with a fun group of tandem riders at our hotel in Cedartown GA. We told them our tandem broke. :-)
And as we were taking off the next morning we met Kenny Herriot from Scotland. He is one of the best wheelchair racers in the world who is in the area for a few months training. Check out this inspiring man: http://www.kennyherriot.co.uk
From Cedartown we crossed the state line from GA into AL and the Silver Commet Trail became the Chief Ladiga Trail. As we rode into Piedmont AL, our destination for the day, a biker approached us looking excited to see us. He had heard about us from the tandem group he had crossed paths with earlier. He was headed back to Cedartown on his 100 mile ride that day but was in no hurry and wanted to take us out for ice cream! We had a special visit at Solid Rock Cafe with our enthusiastic new Colombian friend Emilio.
It was nice to be picked up in Piedmont by friends from MN who are vacationing nearby and stay with them for the night. Fun times!
