If the piece that is 1" wide will be cut off a larger piece is it possible to route the edge before ripping the strip off the larger source piece?

FWIW, you can make a guide that acts like a starter pin by clamping a rounded board to your router table. This may be helpful if you don't have a starter pin, or don't have a ready made insert in your router plate/lift to screw in a starter pin.

+1 on this and +1 on what others said as well. When using a jig leave some lead in and out, if not using a jig leave the minimal amount of material as possible cause for a split second you may be climb cutting and it could go horribly wrong in a hurry.
Ask me how I know. Still have all my fingers in tact but not that board.
