“The Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror television series based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard—together forming the core of The Walking Dead franchise. The series features a large ensemble cast as survivors of a zombie apocalypse trying to stay alive under near-constant threat of attacks from zombies known as “walkers” (among other nicknames). With the collapse of modern civilization, these survivors must confront other human survivors who have formed groups and communities with their own sets of laws and morals, sometimes leading to open, hostile conflict between them.” – Wikipedia.org
Walking Dead Ride Experience Video

In this video, JOM of the Gravel Cyclist crew is joined by the Lady Gravel Cyclist, for a cycling tour, that visits several of the towns featured in the famous AMC Television Show, The Walking Dead. The ride begins in Senoia, Georgia, and rolls through Haralson, Raymond, and Sharpsburg. As a bonus, the route also passes through Luthersville, Georgia.
On the subject of routes, the route for this ride needs some tweaking before it can be posted. There were at least three re-routes / u-turns on the day this video was recorded.
Senoia, Georgia
“Senoia (/səˈnɔɪə/, locally /səˈnɔɪ/) is a city located 35 minutes south of Atlanta in Coweta County, Georgia, United States. It is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Its population was 5,016 at the 2020 census.”
“Following its first season, principal production of The Walking Dead has been filmed in Riverwood Studios (doing business as Raleigh Studios Atlanta), a plot of land about 140 acres (0.57 km2) outside of Senoia. Downtown Senoia itself served as the set for a fictionalized version of the community of Woodbury during the third season of the show. Fans of the show have flocked to try to catch shooting, a development that has met with a negative reception from some town residents, while others have found the added tourists helpful for business growth.”
Haralson, Georgia
“Haralson is a town in Coweta and Meriwether counties in the U.S. state of Georgia. The population was 166 at the 2010 census. It is noted for being one of the filming locations for both The Walking Dead and Lawless.”
Sharpsburg, Georgia
“Sharpsburg (ˈʃɑrpsbɝg) is a town in Coweta County, Georgia, United States. It is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Its population was 341 at the 2010 census.”
