For the record, I already climbed THE hill of this ride. I happened to be wearing my route-marking hat at the time, 2pm and about 85degrees, but I posted route signs for the first 5.6miles of our ride and got to test my bike assembly to make adjustments before tomorrow.
The good news about taking the big hill on Day 0 is you get to ride back DOWN on your return. Half way down I met Grace, the school crossing guard who didn't miss a beat before offering to help us in the morning. She'd be on duty at 7:30 and would happily stop traffic for us as we climbed the hill, turned left, then right and kept climbing.
I'm fed by that kind of humble support - the kind that doesn't hesitate to lend the gift you've got. It's the very best kind of sign. I can't wait to see Grace in the morning!

Grace -- how aptly named! Happy trails Tracy!
(Sorry for deleted comments, if still visible! Early morning spelling....)
Good for you for asking...for taking the time to open your mouth and give Grace an opportunity to give a little to the ride. You are the best!
That little act of kindness will bless you throughout your ride, stay on the shoulders and out of the gravel. Remember I am with you all the way! Love, Tumblin' Tam
