I didn't say anything about where the Ring went.

'Further south there are no passes, till one comes to the Gap of Rohan. I do not trust that way since your news of Saruman. Who knows which side now the marshals of the Horse-lords serve?'

Aragorn is the only one to mention the Gap of Rohan, and he does so in a negative way. Gandalf didn't want to go to Rohan either. The Gap of Rohan was too close. Gandalf wanted to go over/through the mountains. You said Gandalf lead them through Rohan, and he clearly didn't, nor did he intend to that we know of. Frodo taking the Ring around the coast would've taken far too long. The path they went was the shortest and only way the journey could succeed.
