Apparently they deviated from the original cue sheet when people got to Berlin. Instead of taking a right on main street they had us take a left for some reason. There were detour signs up and SeaGull century staff waving us in a different direction from the cue sheet. We were to then make a right on main street.

However immediately afterwards, there was a right turn onto Washington Street that many people missed. Including myself and ended up taking Main street which ends up looping back to the route that leads us back to the Assateague rest stop. Once I started recognizing the land marks I had to stop and retrace my steps. It cost myself and other 3 extra miles to make that loop and lost about 12 minutes.

On the second time around I found a person standing near the missed turn at Washington Street and continued on my way.

Overall the ride was crowded and the rainy weather was tolerable. We did get some sun and I ended up getting a little sun burned.
