I didn't really get lost as much as do some unplanned exploration when on my regular ride Monday I came across a crew that had completely closed the road. As in no way around.
I ended up backtracking about 8 miles to get around, but not before I explored every possible way to get around. While there were some options, most of them involved high speed traffic on narrow roads. I originally used mapping software to pick my route, an oasis of little travelled roads in a sea of angry traffic. The problem is that it's difficult to improvise and sometimes stuff happens that you don't expect.
And besides that, if you're not in a hurry sometimes it's fun to get lost.
