Friday

Miles ridden:72.7
Total Miles Ridden: 399.7 (Ack! I wish I had known... I could have stayed on the bike for another .3 miles - maybe)
Total miles that I should have ridden by this point: 650
Miles behind pace: 250.3 (barely better than on the 9th!)
Miles I have to average daily to get to 1500 from this point: 65 (ouch!)
Today I rode down the Duwamish River trail to the Green River trail, hooked up to the Interurban trail and stopped to visit Scott. After a short stop to get water, I continued on the Interurban trail down to auburn - at which point it seemed to end (I couldn't see where it continued, and it was about 15 miles on the trail which was the length listed on the posterboards along the way). On the way back I jumped onto the Green River trail. Just past 228th I had a flat tire - it seems the sidewall on my rear tire has a hole and the tube blew out the side. Not fun. After patching the tube I found the hole in the tire and realized that I had to do something about that - so currently theres a dollar billed folded up and covering that, preventing the tube from poking out the side. I'll be stopping by REI in the morning for a new tire. I only bought that one last week so I'm hoping theres some type of warranty....

Yeah, IIRC the Interurban dead-ends at a cross in Pacific (just past Auburn). I think there was a car auction lot or something like that there at the end of it.
