Ridden Trail: Once a week

Weekend Warrior Summary: This is Alabama's first extended Rail-Trail and it's quite pretty with streams, lakes, an old bridge going over it and views of open pastures and mountains - the southernmost Appalachians. You can see the state's second highest "peak", Dugger Mountain, from many points along the route. It goes through the college campus of Jacksonville State University and near Germania Springs. The trail is due to connect to the Silver Comet sometime in 2007, enabling a cyclist to go from Weaver, Alabama (near Anniston) to Atlanta, Georgia, a distance of about 100 miles. Recommended Route: The section near Piedmont is the prettiest.

Cross Country Rider Summary: this was a great trail that was very flat and was paved. you only had to cross a few roads. the veiws were wonderful it was very easy we had an eight year old make it. it will take you quite a while if you plan on going the whole way. I highly recomend it for everyone it has a three percent grade change so extremly flat. ride it Recommended Route: there are a varity of starting places depends on how far u want to go Other recommended trails in the same area: dont no any

, from Birmingham Summary: I was all pumped about pulling my kids in the trailer all the live long day. I started in weaver and headed northeast. We stopped at a little park just past Jacksonville to let the kids play and have some lunch that I had packed. The yellow jackets were tremendous and I kept having to throw gatorade soaked bread far away to bait them elswhere. I rode a little further and headed back. The boys started to fight in the trailer and the yougest eventually fell asleep. Man, that trailer got heavy the last few miles. I didn't think the kids had that much fun but they keep asking to go back. Go figure. All in all the scenry left something to be desired, maybe it gets prettier closer to Peidmont.

, from Montgomery Summary: I don't get the initial description listed here. The trail has little to no up/down hill. It's almost all flat. It is cool in the sense that there are no cars, but there are some areas where you have to stop at a lot of stop signs. After a while it gets kinda boring due to the lack of scenery changes. When you get to the wide open areas you can just flat out hammer, I think it would have been fun to have aero bars. The lenght of the pavement is right at 25 miles, and there is a guy with a snack bar right before you get to the northernmost end. I don't know ho far the unpaved section goes, but it is eventually supposed to hook up with the silver comet trail in Georgia. Recommended Route: I started at the southernmost end with my roadbike and rode until the pavement ran out.

, from Alexander City, AL Summary: fun ride for a family or anyone seeking to log some miles on relatively level asphalt. the hills are minimal, and very shallow, but you can get up to speed in several places. just a long, long, wide, wide asphalt sidewalk. a fun ride for the afternoon, and perfect for what it was intended - a leisurely ride through north alabama.
