Today was a holiday and a wonderful chance for a big ride south. The Cedar River Trail is one of my new favorites which I usually join at the Renton Airport. Problems emerged, however, when it was time to find a way between the Cedar River Trail and the Interurban. Google maps suggested SR 516 through Covington. Bad idea. Terrible idea. Long stretches of 516 don't even have sidewalks, much less bike lanes. Scary! The one bonus of my route was discovering the South 277th Corridor Trail which is a windy, steep trail through a wonderfully green ravine. And then, along the Green River and the Interurban at last! Finally, back home via the Green River Trail and Georgetown.
Glorious weather, too.
