    Red face Will I get used to the weight?

    I know this is probably a dumb question, but I was wondering if I will get used to a 35 lb bike on long climbs? It seems the gravel roads I ride I'm doing more uphills than downhills and doing about 1200 ft of climbing. I know it's probably not much but after awhile the bike seems kinda heavy.

    I like my bike (Specialized Rockhopper comp disc) and I don't *think* I need a different kind for the type of riding I do.

    What can I do to make it more uphill friendly besides lose my cellulite of steel? Hopefully Coach Troy will get me into shape for the hills this year, lol.
