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.

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."I learned what every dreaming child needs to know - no horizon is so far that you cannot see above or beyond it." -- Beryl Markham, Aviation Pioneer

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.
