Silver Comet Group Ride

I usually either ride by myself or club group rides on the street. Nobody really rides in groups on the comet.


Is there any interest for over the weekend early in the morning starting at the Trail head?

Actually, there are several groups that meet on the Comet, several times a week. A great place to start is to contact the Depot.

I was thinking mile marker 0. Starting at Smyrna, before noon, flexible on time. I typically average around 19mph.

It depends, on week to week, I do about 45-50 miles when I ride the comet. If I can get a fun group ride, miles and speed are all manageable based on what people can do. Just thinking of something fun to do.

I expect to visit my son's family not too far from the 0 MM a week from Friday (Nov 4-7.)
I would be interested in a ride on Saturday or Sunday.
Let me know!
