Hi Nicole, I know the spot where you went the wrong way. I came to a halt there, and waited for some other cyclists to show up, and everyone made a consensus to turn right. Right before the bend in the road, there was a faded marker in the road pointing to the left. You must have turned left based on the faded marker from a prior ride. But if the detour worked well for you, then that is great.

It was an awesome ride. I had my camera with me but didn't take any photos because I didn't want to get my camera wet.

Glad to know others had fun. That area of Washington State is quite beautiful, and I encourage others to go on the 40-mile or 20-mile next year, even if it rains. Except my trip mileage said 45-miles, so I don't know why they call it a 40-mile route.
