I didn't realize "everybody" says this. I said it because for me it is true. I just couldn't beat this hill no matter how many times I tried and had many a walk up the last half, panting like crazy. After a while it became an enormous mental hurdle that I successfully conquered. Perhaps it is my heavy bike. Perhaps it was because I was out of shape (185 lbs on a 6'3" frame). Perhaps it is actually a tough hill. But whatever the cause, I'm glad to know that you would conquer it on your 3rd commute. Congrats.
