You'll be fine, my memories of that area are the hills aren't that hard, although the farther east you go it gets hillier.

Just remember you only have a limited no. of candles to burn so don't start out to fast. People tend to start when they're ready so you may not have crowded roads.

A funny story, when I started riding many years ago I thought 4 miles was a long ride. One Easter my SO and I camped at John Bryan State Park. I had just gotten my new bike and was eager to go for a ride, so off we went. It was windy and very hilly. I walked alot of hills. The ride took forever. Next morning I could barely walk.

Years later we went back and rode the same route. Not only was it easy, I couldn't find those awful long hills or any hills of conquence but I found out my SO had conned me into a 30 mile ride.

After that day and a few rides around Georgetown, Ky. I decided if I was going to ride in the Ohio Valley I had to like hills and learn how to ride them.
