Ah, another person surprised by the nasty hills in Connecticut! I had a similar experience many years ago - I went to a LAB (League of American Bicyclists) rally in CT, and was unpleasantly surprised by the rolling hills. I'm not a great hill climber, and those short steep hills in the northeast really get me good!

Congrats on completing your ride.
