Great! It sounds like it is a big milestone to you, so don't knock it!
I know just what you mean. I love those moments when it just seems to come together - I can do it, I can do it... I DID IT!

Well, I think an extra 20 feet is pretty neat. That's 20 more feet of a good downhill

I'll bet I couldn't go up that hill -- not any big hills around here so I'm sure I have NO hill ability! Way to go, girl!

Whoo hoo!!! congratulations
20 ft on a hill can be alot!
I have one hill I ride up on every once in awhile. I always had to stop at a certain spot, get my breath and strength back before I could make it to the top.
It was miserable BUT was the hill that I learned the most on, it taught me how to shift and pace myself. Finally one day I made it all the way up!
Keep up the good work
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
