Tips on making it up steep section of hill?

[SheFly]

You guys, I DID IT!!! I'm not even sure what I changed -- except the weather was on the cool side, for once -- I just kept my head down, I think I slid my butt back (quickly aborted my effort to stand, as I waited until it was too steep to get up), and just kept cranking -- and then looked up and I had somehow passed the impossible spot! I'm not sure if I'll be able to replicate the success every time, but at least now I know I CAN do it. Thanks for all the support!!

Woohoo! I knew you could.One teensy observation - slide your butt FORWARD instead of back. This helps keep the pressure on your front tire.

Congrats, and now you will be able to conquer again!

Yikes, I tried sliding my butt FORWARD instead of back. It hurt . . . you know where.
