        <![CDATA[ The Chief Ladiga Trail is Alabama's first extended rails-to-trails project. It wanders for 33 miles through the countryside of Calhoun and Cleburne counties and will soon connect with the Silver Comet Trail at the Alabama-Georgia border. If you have visited this pristine ribbon of asphalt or plan to soon, leave a message here and share it with everyone. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm planning on making a trip home tomorrow and a visit to the Chief Ladiga as well.  I've heard varying reports from the entire thing's paved now, to none of the last stretch of 8 miles has been started yet.  I'm hoping to get some good photos.  My old biking wxman site seems a bit outdated! (and it's moved, actually). ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Guys,<br>Have been riding a nice loop on the Ladiga from the Piedmont welcome center going east to the end of the paving, from there across the unpaved portion to Borden Springs, from Borden Springs back on the paved road.  This is a great loop, I'm guessing around 20 miles or so.  A friend of mine have been riding this loop most Saturdays around 3pm and finishing just about dark.  Would love for someone to come and experience this very nice loop with us.  We've been riding on mountain... ]]></description>

I truly hope this section is scheduled for resurfacing before too long.  It would be a shame to connect the new Cleburne county section to this one in 07 without any improvements.  I have heard that the original plan was to resurface the existing trail after 10 years of service.  Is that next year?(07) ]]></description>
