If you think about it logically, Gandalf could have organised Frodo's departure from the Shire right after he discovered his ring was the One Ring. And he could have arranged for himself and a squad of Rangers, plus some of Gildor's people, to escort Frodo to Rivendell.

And in terms of logic, it was plain insanity for the Council of Elrond to hand responsibility for destroying the Ring to Frodo. Powerful people like Elrond, Erestor and Glorfindel are sitting there, and they say goodbye Frodo, lots of luck ? I don't think so.
