We have a lot of them here and I struggle on all inclines, visible or not. The guy teaching me to ride has me wear my HR monitor, shift into light gearing and spin 'em out, working on keeping my HR down - this will help on the bigger hills, too - you learn how to spend your energy, and that it's even possible to recover for a bit - while going up hill. The concept still boggles, but I've actually been doing it sometimes!

I like to pretend there's a tow rope attached to my bike pulling me along, my only duty is to keep my legs spinning and my bike moving forward.

I avoided wearing my HR monitor on road rides for a long time - now I'm learning how to use the info.
