Kudos to all who do.

I hate hills. Not the up, but the down part. At 70 inches, I am spun out in the mid to upper 20s. Lose footing, you are not going to get your feet back on the pedals.
Fortunately for me being in the flatlands, there are only a couple of hills where that is a problem. Unless there is a stiff wind behind me, then there are more opportunities to spin out. I have a lot of excuses to be slow, but only one to be fast, it's windy.
