teresa- congratulations! I have yet to ride as far as 20 miles, much less up a long incline. Around here there are some big hills but they are rolling, so it's one after the other, but nothing really long (that I've ridden on). My good friend lives in colorado, and rides road races. She told me about a 12 mile uphill stretch! She talks in terms of elevation, not hills. I know, at the stage I'm at right now, I couldn't do it. I'm not real good on steep hills!
