The track is a straight single track the only curve is about 3/4 to a mile down the tracks. It is at a lower elevation than the rest of campus.
My campus security consists of a 4 member force, none of which would be of much help other than to call the state police, campus is half a mile away from interstate 81 near the VA/Tenn border.
My dorm and truck are slightly uphill from the tacks.
I do have a small tool kit for my bike that stays with the bike at all times, it hold a tire repair kit, air pump, Leatherman kick, and a multi-tool built just for bikes.

I do not know how to read the hazardous material signs, but i would like to learn how, that could be highly important.

My EDC right now is my wallet, camera-phone, pocketknife ( fixed or folder under 3inch blade length) and everything on the bike. My backpack always has a nalgene bottle and some small snacks in it.
