    I love the little towns. Last year I rode from Jacksonville Florida through Georgia to Franklin North Carolina in 6 Day. I enjoyed all those little towns in Georgia. Thanks for the nice ride video.

    I loved this video, I loved seeing small Amarican towns, with so many beautiful landscapes, especially the videos produced in rural areas. I am a Brazilian in love with yuor country, blessed by God.

    This is incredible footage! My grandmother's paternal family, The Reynolds, were some of the first settlers of Covington. I have read so much of the history yet have never been. Thanks for the tour!! Be safe!!

    As always, great video Jom, very motivating while I spin the trainer. This one was especially cool to me. I used to live in Newborn when I was a little kid in the 80s, went to a daycare at a church in Mansfield.
    That library in Newborn is interesting because it was just a hollow shell with no roof and trees inside. I vividly remember going past it on the way to shop with my mom at that abandoned grocery store.
    Thanks for making these great videos!

    I believe it was "Smokey and the Bandit" that was filmed there, not Cannonball run. great video.

      Oops, please accept my apologies, I often get it wrong!

      Cannonball Run was also filmed in part in Covington, thats correct. When Burt lands the plane, jumps out and gets some beer from a shop. That took place on the square. Dukes of Hazzard also filmed in Covington originally.

    I live right off 81, but about 30 miles north in the little town of Bethlehem, GA.

    where do you park when you go to these small towns. Is that a problem -- where to put your car for a few hours while you are cycling. I don't live too far from this ride and I want to check it out.

      I've been wondering the same thing.

      A public park, library or something of that sort would be my choice

      Pretty much what CR said, I generally park somewhere in downtown assuming a town start. I have remote started from a church property, but always check for any signage concerning trespassing, or have a chat with anyone onsite. I avoid remote places such as trailheads, etc.

    • @offspringin

      Parking all around the square is free. Also a free parking garage NE of the square. The trestle has now been revitalized as part of rails to trails style walking path.
