    Hello! Just found you guys searching this trail. We are planning on taking a couple of ebikes up to Piedmont and ride this same route. After watching this video I’m ready to go right now. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi Thomas! Chief Ladiga is 33 miles, then it connects to the Silver Comet Trail at the Alabama-Georgia state line for another 61.5 miles. It’s a beautiful trail! Thanks for watching!

    Cool video. It is a shame that we live about 2 hours from there, drive through the area often, have even hiked the Pinhoti Trail, but have never ridden the Chief Ladiga Trail. Hope to fix that soon! Enjoyed the video!

    I've ridden that trail many times. I can tell you, keep your wits about you as you go through Esom Hills as it nears the conversion to Georgia's Silver Comet. There are more than a few "questionable" folks around that area. I teach with a friend who grew up there and she always reminds me to carry protection. I have come across a few of these individuals. You wouldn't want to be on the trail alone, especially if you're a woman. Still, it's a great trail and worth the ride. Just be mindful of the shady folks.

    Great video, thank you. We are headed to FL to get warm in a few weeks;-} are going to stop, spend a couple of nights and ride the Chief Ladiga trail. We will go from there to Blackwater SP and ride there for a few days. We are staying two weeks at Fort Pickens, any advice on where to bike or hike around Pensacola beach area? Looks like you two are fairly local.

    • @TroyandAndrea

      Hi! Yes, we live in Milton, pretty close to the Blackwater River Trail. We have videos on that as well as the Pensacola and Navarre beach trails. We have a hiking video up and the MTB trail is also great for hiking. Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip and let us know if you make it to Milton to ride the Blackwater!

      Hi! I ride a Giant Roam Disc 4. It has been a great bike for the trails and I highly recommend it. I own a road bike, had other bikes, and recently ridden other brands. I can honestly say that the Roam is a quality bike at a great value. I plan on doing a review of my bike in an upcoming video. Here's a link to the model I have: www.giant-bicycles.com/us/roam-4-disc

    Nice! Does the trail head in Alabama have a parking area for someone that was wanting to ride out and back and take a few days? Trying to decide we we’ll walk it or ride it.

    • @TroyandAndrea
      @TroyandAndrea  3 роки тому

      I would recommend the Piedmont trailhead as the safest option for leaving a vehicle for multiple days. Check with the Piedmont police for their recommendations. Thanks for watching!
