Nice report. Looks like a good day!
There is a trick to negotiating stairs. Most people stand beside the bike, pick it up, and try to walk up or down stairs (remembering to pick up the bike so that you are on the outside of any turns you may have to go around). A better way is to pick up the bike by the front wheel and let the rear wheel stay on the ground. Then you roll the bike up or down the stairs as you hold it from above so that it doesn't tip sideways. You go up stairs backwards while facing the bike, pulling the bike up as the rear wheel thumps over each step. You go down forward, letting the bike roll down each step. It's easier than it sounds.
Maybe you knew this already and I'm just wasting finger cycles.
