I'm trying to get to the Silver Comet Trail and not having any luck.
My First mistake was to book my flight into Birmingham, AL instead of Atlanta, GA. I thought I could easily get to the Chief Ladiga Trail from Birmingham airport.
Wrong!!!!!
So now, I've decided to start my rail trail ride on the Silver Comet Trail rather than the Chief Ladiga Trail. A couple of the reasons I made that decision include:
- Easier to get from airport to a hotel near the trail.
- I found a great and very helpful bike shop named SCD Bikes that has recumbent bikes for rent and is located near the Silver Comet Trail.
I tried getting a shuttle or a ride from a local. I called a few people and put an ad in Craigslist. But nothing came of it. So now it looks like I'll have to rent a car. I'd hoped to avoid that. It's a bit of a waste since I'll be on a bike for most of the trip. I'll only really need a car to get from the airport to the hotel and back again.
I think someone would do a pretty good business if they provided shuttle service for trail riders. One of the bike rental shops should consider this as part of their business.
