Way to go! Keep plugging away and soon those nasty hills will seem like little bumps in the road. Congrats.

Actually, DDH, it sounds like you are doing very, very well!! I think we have some similarities body-wise, ride-wise, and head-wise. Ambition is great, but don't use it as a stick to beat yourself for not being "there" yet! Some days I have to tell myself this, oh, at least 90,000 time a ride. Ya can't open the rose by pulling the petals open - keep riding, and our "pedals" will blossom - er - help me, Captain Metaphor! Anyway, DH, besting that hill is a great accomplishment, I toast you with my water bottle!
Looking at the pictures again I noticed something else.... That is chip seal! Doesn't look too smooth to me, which is a beast to climb. Pat yourself on the back one more time.![]()
