On Foot: Overview
We have a huge focus on cycling, but many of our favorite cycling places are popular multi-use trails, so they’re walking paths too. Some time back we decided that our post-ride recovery exercise would be a walk, that was for the cross training benefit among other things.
It took us a while, and another commitment, to follow through on that. Russ was preparing for a 3 day memorial hike in Linville Gorge. to honor a friend who died unexpectedly. I joined him on Kennesaw Mountain in his prep for the elevation climb in the gorge.
Since Russ’s recent diabetes diagnosis, he’s been walking after meals at whatever park is nearby when he is having lunch. If we’re together, I join him there as well. We’ve discovered a lot of lesser known trails, and we’ll be posting about them in individual posts under this category, “On Foot.”
We do a variety of things in the forest on foot. We walk, hike, wander, explore, forest bathe, forage and rescue plants when we’re on trails on foot, so we’re using the one category to cover it all.

Not every category we write under has a header label. “On Foot” is one of those. Right now I’m totally reorganizing my categories. When I’m done you should be able to click on any category at the top of a post and see related posts. Until then, it may be useful to use the search bar for content that’s less obvious.

From the grandfather of hiking trails, The Appalachian Trail, to the more recently converted Silver Comet we ride of so often, North Georgia has great paths and great organizations working hard to maintain and improve them. Check out these great resources to find out about some of them.
Georgia Conservancy‘s Guide to the North Georgia Mountains is good.
