Congrats on conquering that hill!
Since I bought the new road bike I find myself climbing hills I never thought were possible for me. Last year the BF took me on a hill climbing ride in one of the local parks. It's a long uphill climb over a dam and the last leg of the hill is rather steep. He told me I probably wouldn't be able to climb it on my first try. Well, that's all it took
I was in the granny gear when I reached the top but I made it
He never mentioned I might not be able to climb a hill again
