Thought I'd pass along the journal and pics from my first solo self-contained bicycle trip. I've done a lot of touring but never alone. I hope this motivates other women and also reinforces the fact that while we are always vulnerable, we can do this fairly safely and have an incredible time. My three days were on rural roads in northern New Mexico and included some untraditional touring miles. It was also over Halloween!
