The sad thing is I've come to expect harassment as a woman on every solo ride I do. Like Regina mentioned, I believe it's best to try to dress androgynous when you are by yourself. Unfortunately it's really hard to hide a ponytail and the HOT weather makes it hard to cover up. I bought a cell phone with a camera specifically for my solo rides, I also carry mace for protection that I hang from my handlebars.
It can be so scary out there when you are confronted with a situation. I've often thought of what my defenses would be if something were to ever happen, I know I'd fight like crazy. One reason I really love my riding shoes...they may be hard to walk in but they'd hurt like hell if I were to kick someone with them!
