Doing hills is hard but it allows you to ride in places that are not flat (and there are a lot of great places to ride that are not flat).
Zactly! I know the fun rides (organized) out here are promoted as flat ride but there is always some sort of climb. It's funny to watch riders struggle up a 1/2 mile climb then after the ride complain that it was supposed to be a flat ride.
