[RC] re: riding alone safely - Cindy Collins

Most of my training miles have been ridden alone.  I do have friends who
go along at various times, but it isn't anything that can be counted on.  
Of course when I started this sport, there weren't cell phone and GPS, but
now that there are  I, too, carry a cell phone, water, food of some sort,
a GPS (you can tell someone your coordinates as you wait with your broken
leg), whiskey for medicinal purposes, and often, a handgun, if I'm going a
long distance or in the mountains.  I also always leave a note on the
kitchen table saying when I left and approx. where I'm heading and how
long I plan to be gone.  Hope this all helps.  Cindy
