Yeah, I think I'm just gonna go ahead & show up in the morning.

As for hills, the route is pretty flat(all of CC is, really) and I practice riding parts of it, and street riding doesn't bother me at all. The speed is/was my main concern, so thanks for the thoughts. I'll let y'all know how it goes!!
