I try to avoid granny too, but sometimes it is necessary, as a last resort. I run a couple times a week and that seems to help with the climbs. As I get into better shape the faser I go up.

"I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel...the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood." Susan B Anthony

I ride a Santa Cruz Juliana too.... love it.
Over the winter I ride my spinner. We bought a rowing machine, and I have to say that has played a huge part in being able to ride up hills faster.
I agree with Irulan - the more you ride up hill the better and stronger you get. No instant reward unfortunately, just have to put the time in... it will get better and better.Last edited by Hound Dog; 06-25-2010 at 10:19 AM.
