Ride today was supposed to come back on the loop route around the south end of the lake but at the Seahawks facility there was a Renton cop telling everybody that the road and the trail were closed. They could have signed the closure so that people didn't go a mile-and-a-half up the trail to a dead-end. They could have posted a detour. They could have routed their runners on the trail so that regular traffic could use the road. but no, they just shut it down with no notice and a cop who didn't give a shit.

I saw at least 40 maybe 50 cyclists during the time it took me to ride up there and back. I thought about riding up Lake Washington Blvd and going around, but presumably 44th and 30th were also closed so you'd have to ride over to Highway 900 somehow and come down that hill by Fryes. I don't get how the city can close a county trail and I don't get how you can shut down a public street with no detour. I guess that I should be glad I don't live on the closed road, but this left me pissed off for the rest of my ride.
