Guessing the rest stop volunteers didn't know any riders were still riding.
I have done a lot of sag work and have seen many riders Miss Three Signs that show a Right Turn and they Keep going straight.
I would Chase them down and turn them around.
Also as a rider , I have missed signs.
Seems to be a normal part of rides run by volunteers.
This was was your mistake:
"I didn't want to carry the extra fluids with me up the hill!"
I always carry FIVE Bottles on a 100 mile ride.
Volunteer for a rest stop or sag on a big ride and you will learn much.
