Chain snapped on a group ride, how do you carry a spare link?

Last Saturday I was about 12 miles into a fast group ride near Portland and my chain gave out on a hard shift going up a hill. It broke right at the pin, not the quick link, and scattered a few links onto the road before I could stop. I had a chain tool but no spare links on me, so I had to call for a ride home. Do you guys carry a master link or a few spare pins in your saddle bag, or do you just rely on the chain tool to shorten it enough to get home? I'm thinking about adding a quick link to my kit but not sure if it's worth the extra weight.
