Well, this is it! Our last day of riding together. David took us to the trailhead about 4 miles down the freeway to the I90 trail that parallels I90 into Seattle. We went over the floating bridge, through a tunnel, and into town. It was very cool! We found a Starbucks (not hard to do in Seattle) and made a plan for the next set of miles. There happened to be a metro station across from the Starbucks, so we hopped on it to take it north to Lake Union. We wove our way through town to the trailhead. There's a trail there called the Burke-Gilman that my source claimed runs 14 miles. What we found out is that it actually runs all the way around the lake, 30/40 plus miles. We didn't have that kind of time by the time we found it, but we did get 20 miles in on this trail. It was a beautiful trail, smooth, scenic around the lake and in the trees; just an all around good trail day to end the week. There were lots and lots of people out on this trail. The people here are so lucky to have such a wonderful trail to enjoy. We were happy to have found it. And nobody crashed! We put in 30 miles today, which seemed to be quite enough for us here at the end of the week.
This week logged us 150 (hard) miles. We pledged to individually make up the miles we lost to poor trails this week once we get home.
We heading for home today!
