1st Annual Capital Trikke Remembrance Ride
Silver Comet Trail
June 20, 2009
9 am – 5pm
We will meet at the Silver Comet Depot at 4342 Floyd Rd. Mableton Ga.
Everyone will leave their cars here and begin the ride. Everyone must start in groups with general plans as to how far they will be riding.
Shorter distance riders can go up to Carter (8.8 miles round trip) or Florence (15 miles round trip.) Upon returning to the ride start, everybody will get in their cars and head up to Coots Lake to meet up with longer distance riders and enjoy the rest of the day. (longer distance riders can make arrangement for cars to brought up or get a ride back at the end of the day)
The second meeting point will be Coot’s Lake Beach approx 30 miles up the trail. We should all be together around 1pm for lunch.
(see specific directions from ride start to Coot’s below)
It’s $5.00 per person admission for Coot’s Lake Beach
.We will have a full cook out picnic and fun time at Coot’s. We will have basic cook out food for everyone (dogs, burgers, chips, sodas etc), but feel free to bring any items specific to your diet. There is a lake/beach for anyone who wants to enjoy water activities. We will bring some game stuff, footballs etc. Be sure to throw some fun stuff in your car!
Those who want to continue to ride and explore can ride to other trailheads from Coot’s while everyone continues to play! One suggestion to complete a 50+ mile ride is to Trikke back down the trail from Coots to Rambo and back to Coot’s. That’s 21 miles round trip, but there are many mile opportunities. See trail breakdown below.
We will have one last casual group ride in the afternoon (around 3pm) with everyone Trikking through the scenic trail to Rockmart and back 7.4 miles round trip. This should be a very fun ride!
Upon finishing the group ride, everyone leaves from Coot’s Lake
