So, still getting out each morning. There is only one other guest taking out one of the three bicycles.
FWP - Tom Tom bicycle routed me up 17th street - which is a 17% grade - unsharable. Traffic was heavy, so I bailed the road and walked up the sidewalk. Yeah, that's why.
(Should have used Google maps.)
Anyhow - got to the top with my own two feet.
