These Hills are Made for Walkin'

You finished, that is what counts. You tried it, you ahd to walk a wee bit, no biggie, everyone starts somewhere. It will get easier with time and practice.

I met a cross country cyclist this summer that said "I have never met a hill I couldn't walk"

What are the options, walk the hill or sag home?

Walking the hill will win out everytime.

Great job and keep going! ! !

There's no shame in walking a hill. Even the pros have to do it from time to time, such as on the Koppenberg in this year's Tour of Flanders... only 7 guys out of the peloton made it up this one without walking their bikes!!

And if Alessandro Petacchi has to walk a hill from time to time, I'm certain that you can be excused too...

In fact, there's a whole branch of the sport organized around walking or toting your bike up these sorts of hills and into other places... cyclo-cross!
