I like riding up hills on my terms. I can enjoy riding up a long climb in an easy gear and develop that rhythm with just enough effort to move along nicely. At 6' and 185 lbs riding up hills in races usually isn't on my terms and they put a hurt into me. Hills lasting less than 2 or 3 minutes are my friend and I can beat up on other guys, any longer and we don't see eye to eye anymore.

I'm going to hill climbing camp in North Central PA the 2nd weekend of April for 3 days of hurt.
