Beautiful day on the bike. Mt. Rainier was out, the sky was blue and the temps in the low 60"s. Lots of walkers, bikers, e-bikers on the trail. Bridge east of South Prairie is still out and will be for maybe 3 years before it is fixed. Was told I could just lift my bike over the barriers and keep going to Buckley but the barriers are too high for one person to do it. So found a slightly longer difficult route that took me to Burnett and then to Buckley. Wanted 50 miles so had to do some loops on the way home to get the mileage. Data: No assist until the steep hills to Burnett and used 8%. Started at 89%, 81% at Burnett and then played at assist when I thought someone was going to pass me. Ended at 75% Saw Scott walking on the trail and so stopped and walked with him. Then he went far right in the conversation so I won't be stopping again.
