Well, hilly in that it is in southern Ohio and more hilly than Central Indiana - that is different from being in the mountains What would be a good training technique if the hills are short and steep?

I am about an hours drive from southern Indiana - and they DO have hills there - they may not be long, but they can get very steep and there are a lot of them!
