I have a solution for the hills.
Step 1 - put your bike on rack on your car.
Step 2 - drive to the top of the longest hill.
Step 3 - loosen your car's battery terminal so that car will not start. Also DH or other person will not suspect your plan.
Step 4 - take bike off of rack and turn odometer on.
Step 5 - ride home down hill
Step 6 - eat a banana and have a glass of lemonaide while you call DH or other person to come fix your car
Step 7 - smirk the entire time and call it a recovery ride. recommend this method to other TE'ers.
Step 8 - go to the getting to know you post and insert this in the "what is the biggest lie that you have ever told" spot.

That's my 2 cents worth!!
