I'm a hill slug too....steep hills really irritate my asthma, although I'm starting to take some spinning classes in the hope that the higher resistance training will help me fight that. What is it about the mountain bike shoes that's better aerodynamics for the hills? Also, I do ride over 40mi a couple times a month and am working toward a 1st century in the spring....
