Wooooow elevenpointfive! Your "adventure" sounds really scary to moi - I'm glad that you made it back safely dispite, and that your roomie had the get up to go out looking!

Can I take a moment here to get on a little soapbox and remind the list community to wear identification whenever you ride, alone or in a group. I've one too many stories of people, even group riders, getting separated and then hit or hurt, with no ID on them.

I wear dog tags ($10) which list my name, home and cell emergency contact numbers, blood type and donor wishes.

www.RoadIDcom - makes a really nice ID for the wrist, ankle, dog tags or to attach to shoe laces with a lot of info room for around $20. check them out.

whatever you wear or carry, please do it whenever your out, just in case!

I decided to buy several riding friends RoadID's after I heard recently that the Central Park Jogger didn't have any ID on her, even though she ran at night, late and alone; She was ID'd only after missing three days of work when a co-worker called the hospital on a hunch. They ID'd her by the description of a ring she wore that he remembered.

End of soap box now,

be careful out there!
