I have a love-hate relationship with hills. I love the feeling of getting to the top of one, but the climb up is a different story.
I just took my bike for a new saddle. I had been riding with the stock saddle and it was okay, but I knew I could be more comfortable. HOLY COW! What a difference! I also finally found a local bike shop that I really like and they are super about advice - everything from what things to buy to which local roads to avoid. What a help!
