Well I did not make 35 miles today - not even close. Although it was sunny here in Tacoma by the time I arrived in Kent we were getting dark clouds. One of the members had to change a tire and the leader we ride with suggested that I and another woman go ahead. She had mentioned stopping in Auburn but when Sherry and I got to Auburn we did not see any place that looked like a turn around place so we kept going on the Interurban until we came to a barrier about Algona at which point we decided to turn around. We had been fighting a very strong headwind all the way and I was tired. I also suspected we had missed a turn off as we weren't seeing anyone else. We confirmed this when we saw the turn off on the way back. However by this time we were in the sleet and hail and our toes were going numb so we continued back. Besides we weren't sure if the others weren't already back and waiting for us. It turned out we were the first ones back and the others had continued on to Flaming Geyser. I am glad we turned back when we did as I was still chilled when I got home even after I had the heat on high all the way home. The hot soak in the tub was wonderful! I figured we did about 18 miles.
