    Oooh, I just did a devil of a hill this past weekend. I don't know how steep it was, but it reminded me of going up on a roller coaster ride. I had just come down a steep hill and was pedaling like a mad woman to get up that blasted hill when......I accidentally geared up to the highest gear--front and rear. Dumb! Dumb! I almost came to a halt and had to jump off my bike to run up the hill. In the meantime, there are cars whizzing right by me on a road that has no shoulder. Geez! The things we do!

    Great news about conquering the hill! What a great confidence booster!

    One of my goals for this year is to ride up a VERY hated hill on John Bryan Park Road near Yellow Springs, Ohio. The last time I rode -- make that walked -- up that hill with my bike I was grumbling at DH all the way up.

    That is fantastic! I know the feeling and once you've done it, you know you can do it again. Yay!!!

    I swear at them as I climb them, I found it intimidates them a bit and makes them behave.
