need some inspiration

I don't have much to add, except to keep training, and give your sore muscles rest (if you have any soreness from the hills), and you will get stronger.

I mostly wanted to say Welcome To TE!

It might help to consider your mindset about that hill. Is it really that you can't make it up that hill--or that you can't make it up that hill as fast as you want to? Maybe if you let yourself go up that hill super slow, in the lowest gear you have, you can make it.

I hate telling someone it might be all in their mind. So, I have a couple other suggestions. Get a smaller chainring on the front, a granny gear. I love my 22 tooth granny gear; I've heard of even smaller, 12 tooth chainrings.

Consider driving part and biking part of your commute. That may or may not cut out that hill, but it might make it easier to ride every day.

thanks a lot all replies. I will consider about smaller chainrings. i am riding at lowest possible gear on my bike on that hill.but one day i will climb that hill, that s my target. its all mental i know, i am working with my mind for that challenge.

right now i started like 2 days a week to ride to work, then workout in gym for 2-3 days, eventually my target is ride to work at least 4 days a week.

Thanks again

If you keep doing it, it will get easier. Some people also commute part way by bike, part way by other means (transit or car). Perhaps that option will help you.

You might ask your bike shop about getting an even smaller gear installed on your bike. It makes a world of difference.
