I BAA'ed last year by myself. Then again, I'm a guy... it's a little easier for me. I really don't know what to say. Do you tolerate lots of problems with you go bicycling (as a woman)? I suppose "how you carry yourself" might be a factor as well. It might be good if you are a little intimidating, or maybe a little scary. Tough issue about biking alone as a woman.
Northern route - Never done it myself. One concern: Boy, the country is very populated once you reach Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and the Northeast. Many have done the northern route, of course, but personally, I hate being in super populated areas. I actually felt more safe being in the middle of nowhere in the desert or west Texas than in really busy suburbs or cities.
