That can be a problem in some locations ... fortunately for me this community only has one.

Hilarious ... I can hear someone saying that.

All the single track around here either goes up (away from the city), or down (towards the city). Can't get lost on the trails unless you like riding up.

My wife had a similar experience on a half century, found herself riding alone with no signs in sight. Fortunately for you it was a good call to continue and in her case she turned (must have missed the sign). Would have been a few extra miles otherwise.
