the other day, i rode from east point to the floyd rd trailhead on the comet and back. the connection is almost complete, there is one easy 2ish mile section on the road just north of the big rail yard, then you're back on the connector. they should have that section connected by the end of this year
that new section north of washington park is literally on the bluff that gave that area it's name

we were surprised to find it was closed at oakdale. we rode up that section a little ways (there's a hole in the fence) and turned around when we saw the heavy machinery where they were stabilizing the bank. we were able to backtrack and loop around through a couple of neighborhoods to hook up with the trail on the east-west connector near mavel rd. i think they will have that section open again sometime in august.
August 4th was supposed to be the date of opening back up. Don't know if they are still on schedule. I have been hiking and rucking elsewhere over biking. I plan on getting back to biking soon.
i think that's the date that was on the sign we saw at oakdale. This was two weekends ago, so that's probably still good.
fyi, if you haven't been back out there, this section of the comet connector is open again. i rode up there yesterday. they cleared all of the kudzu as well
Went there this morning. Some piece of garbage broke some glass at the bridge over the railroad tracks on Atlanta Road. 2 flat tires had to walk it back.
sorry to hear that. this is why we can’t have nice things
we rode some of the new section that will go by scofflaw brewing and connect over to the chattahoochee works area
Two more options:
if you haven't heard of them, i've heard good things about schwalbe tires (haven't used them yet, though). they have a few versions that have puncture protection.
