I picked up my repaired bike this morning, hooked up the trailer (with Johanna in it) and headed up the hill . . . trailer + Johanna + attachments is, I figure, a bit under 50 pounds.
Did I make it? Yes!
Did I make it easily? No!
Could I make it with Lilia in there too? Not at the moment!
But still--it's a good start, and mornings when Lilia is in Kindergarten this definitely expands my range.
Now excuse me, I need to wobble over on my rubbery legs to the kitchen to get a drink . . .

what's the vertical gain?
I think the grade averages 4 or 5% over about 1,5 km . . . starting from the city, it's first a relatively gentle climb, then gets much steeper. It flattens out for at most a couple hundred meters before heading uphill again.
And that's the easier way--there are two other ways to get home where the grade is much steeper over a shorter distance.
