If RoadRunner is the one that assigned the private IP address, as I have seen other ISP's do, then the gateway is on their server in their office which could explain why you see that trace. I have done traces before through a Canadian ISP that showed an RFC 1918 address in the middle of the trace. I questioned the ISP, made it all the way to the 3rd tier tech support, and was told that to conserve address; their internal routers used those IPs to route with.
