Today's ride was an out and back cycle of 27 miles from the New Hill access to the current end of the trail at I-40. The ATT will someday bridge over I-40 but we are not at that point yet. The trail is in great shape and we did not see one horse all day long. There were lots of folks out enjoying this trail. Many families were using it which is always a good sight.
At a couple road crossings, local businesses had set up water coolers for those folks who didn't bring enough. There is no normally no water available at any of the parking accesses or rest stops. being a hot day as today was, that is something you should keep in mind.
The only wildlife encounters were a large black snake and a snapping turtle trying to make his way across the trail. Oh and the cicadas. They were deafening.
