I just got my first real road bike. I signed up for the PMC at the recommendation of a friend, then realized we had picked the toughest route - 110 Mi will big hills! Uh -oh!

I am planning on doing a metric century in May, and will look for a June/July century. Honestly the hills in the PMC have me worried the most .

I have a training book reccommended by the Pan Mass trainer, Fitness Cycling. They have a hill traing program, basically some very hard, some very quick etc. I was thinking of doing the hill thing (short very intense uphill rides) during the week, and a long ride each weekend. My longest ride so far is 30 miles, and my hill MPH is very low - 7-10 MPH, depending on the hill.

I greatly appreciate any and all advice, especially on working on hill climbing.
