They changed the route on my weekend ride. Killer hill is gone from the route I took. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

There were plenty of other hills, of course, most of which went fine, although they are almost as steep as killer hill. But there's one particularly nasty section that sneaks up on you after a sweet downhill, and I just didn't gear down far enough. Faced with the probability that I would fall over if I continued to try to power up it in a high gear of the middle chainring, I got off and pushed.

I now remember doing that on the exact same section of hill on a previous ride. Got to know my routes better.
