We did a drill for that at the clinic if you recall. Get your weight forward--either a little or a lot depending on how steep the hill--in order to give your front wheel some traction. Think b**bs to the tube. Where it gets trickier--and the North Gate Connector is a good example of this--is when you're going uphill and need to get your weight off your front wheel a bit to deal with roots or rocks. I'm still trying to work on that; it's hard!!!!
