I've made progress in the seemingly quixotic quest to make hills and headwinds (we have both in ample amounts) my friends... Originally Posted by chickwhorips

It is just one of those attitude things that has a subtle effect. Most people I figure, make progress, albeit slowly, with hills so long as they stick with it.
I was just experimenting the other day with my HRM and noticed that while sitting at home, clenching my teeth/grimacing/etc would cause a small but noticeable change in heart rate. I figure the same is true of one's approach to hill riding.
Don't ask me to ride in the dead of winter though - I haven't psyched myself out enough to do that
