I kinda giggled a little at the title, then when reading that you went to stop 1, 3, then 2. Why do I giggle? I'm not mean, I just did that a few years ago. It was a *very* small ride and I was alone a lot. I did a big circle and ended back up where we started (after only 20 miles). I followed the road markings- turns out there were 3 sets of markings on that road from 3 different rides- I just followed the wrong set.

Sorry 'bout the mix-up, but I'm glad you had a great time anyway. How odd, though... you certainly were not alone in going the wrong way apparently.
