So what? WTF cares? Are you getting paid to climb that hill? Is it a race? Is there some other reason it's important?
I didn't think so. If you crap out, stop and take a breather. Let your heart slow down, catch your breath, drink some water, look around you at the scenery. Wait until you're ready, then start pedaling again. Repeat as required.
It's about FUN, sir. Take it easy, and have some.
