OMG! When you saw those helmets in the distance were the one of the best things you'v EVER seen??? I've gotten lost a couple times on rides... the worst was a century where my knee DID blow out at mile 80... stubborn girl that I am I did not stop... but kept riding injured (stupid, stupid, stupid...sigh... ) anyway we got 10 miles off course... and that last 10 miles all I kept thinking was, "I JUST want a chair and my BBQ chicken!!!" LOL That may have been the best chicken lunch postride ever!

glad you are OK and were able to figure out how to get yourself to a safe place again!
