Thanks. I live in Central Illinois, and hills here are pretty tame. I did ride as a child, and that helped too. I haven't had, or made, many opportunities to ride downhill at breakneck speed, but when I started, I was more afraid of going up than coming down, of the humiliation of having to walk my bike up the little hill I live on. I had to master using the gears before I could make it up on the bike. Now it's almost easy.

I am 60 and really started to cycle this year. I am taking it slow but am proud of my progress.
