Itinerary:

Join me at the The Mavell Road Trailhead for a fun ride along the silver comet trail starting at mile Marker 0. There are restrooms and water facilites available here as well as parking, if the lot is full you can park at the Elementary school.

From the silver comet trail website:

"The Silver Comet Trail is located 13 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. It's free of charge, and travels west through Cobb, Paulding, and Polk counties. This quiet, non-motorized, paved trail is for walkers, hikers, bicyclists, rollerbladers, horses, dog walkers, and is wheelchair accessible.

The Silver Comet Trail is 61.5 miles long, and starts at the Mavell Road Trailheadin Smyrna, Georgia. It ends at the Georgia/Alabama state line, near Cedartown and The Esom Hill Trailhead."
