Early riders?

Virgin here doing it solo but having family support for the first 4 days. I am a stay at home dad so I do most of all my training early morning before wife goes to work. I was wondering if there will be other riders that leave super early 5-530am? I am not much into the party scene so I will be on my normal schedule and want to take off as early as possible. Anyone else as crazy as me or will I be alone? Also when they announce official route can I download the route to upload to my computer?

New to road bike question.

I bought old used madone 4.5 that had less than 200 miles on it not sure how true but was in good condition. My question is on wheelset I found some Giant PA-2 with Gatorskin tires not sure how many miles on tires. Was wondering if this would be an upgrade from what came on stock with the Madone 4.5. I know this bike isn't great with 25mm being the widest I can go but can't fix that so I just want to know if $100 for wheelset and tires is decent price and if an upgrade for my bike? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

New to this help please.

New to this and wanting to learn rather than bring to a shop with every little thing. Shifting skips and makes noise in some gears. Thanks in advance!
