The most evil hills are the ones like when I ride my bike to work: I go up, then it's flat, then I go up, then it's flat, then I go up, then it's flat, then you go up and it's flat -- no reward! It's about a seven mile ride -- they call 'em benches here.

I know of the "ghost hills" of which you speak.

They are legendary around here.

You don't know they are there until you are on them.

Look down... do I have a flat??? Nope. Maybe it's that time of month? Nope. Maybe I suddenly contracted lyme disease? Nope. Is this road going ever so slightly upwards??? Ah yes!!!
