You will be fine with your compact double 50-34 and 11-30 cogset. The hill may seem long now but in time will be nothing. Everyone has their own strategies to climbing but mine is to break it down into sections and just think about the section I am in. I might choose a corner or a telephone pole a third of the way up and just think about getting to that pole. Then I pick a second spot and concentrate on that. The last is top of the hill and I concentrate on that. Small accomplishments, one big goal.

Like mstraus says, don't push it in the beginning, keep it light, save your energy for when you are getting closer to the top of the hill. Remember it is not a race, but just a ride. It should be fun.

Congratulations on your first commute. You have a great bike, great climate for commuting and a scenic route, what more could you ask for?
