You might want to check out crazyguyonabike.com There are two journals that have women cycling alone in Mexico. The latest is a featured journal entitled, "Bici and the Bee Head South". About 80 percent of her trip is with a partner, then she solos it to Guatelama. The other journal I highly recommend can be found by using the Hitlist, is by author Heidi Donn??? She wrote two journals, which I couldn't stop reading. She only mentions one incident with fellows being a nusiance. Heidi only stealth camps, so she just hid beside the road when the drinking fellows came back around. Bici, on the other hand stayed in campgrounds or hotels mostly when by herself. Currently, there are 3 female cyclists on tour in the US with journals on crazyguyonabike.com I am following their stories, as I would like to take off next year. I have been saving my vacation time for a couple of years. Debbie
