A weeklong, 310-mile ride mostly on beautiful bike trails. Start and return to the same place near Atlanta for convenient logistics. It features lower daily mileage and a build day.

The Silver Comet trail is one of the longest, most pleasant paved trails in the country, especially when adding in the Chief Ladiga Trail into Alabama. Even better, by adding in shorter trails like the Big Creek Greenway, we will have a weeklong route that should be on about 85% trails!

For years we did a part of the Silver Comet as a gorgeous weekend ride with camping, but this new weeklong event will utilize indoor sleeping in churches and community centers, and now includes more bike paths, more builds, and more fun. Experience northern Georgia while creating an opportunity to serve those in need of a decent place in which to live.

It has all the components of a perfect Fuller Center ride…great routes, great church hosts, and 1 great build day!

You will start and return at the same place, so you’ll see the trails from both directions, and the logistics for those driving will be made easy as they can leave their vehicles near the start.

What to expect on the Silver Comet:

  • 7 days of riding, typically 30-60 miles per day
  • One Build Day
  • 80 – 85% paved bicycle trails along the way

When you want to go out and enjoy a ride, what do you want? Is it paved roads, tree lined paths, out in nature? Those are some of the many aspects of Silver Comet that make this event so appealing.

The trails are off limits to cars, giving you an opportunity to more easily talk with other riders as you enjoy your surroundings rather than focus on the cars around you.

Many riders come to our events for the riding itself, yet quickly realize how much bigger these events are than the cycling itself as they experience the build days and the community. Join us to learn why.
