I moved to hilly Colorado from flat Iowa 22 years ago. Had to add a front derailleur for higher and more importantly LOWER gearing. Also it took a couple of months to really adjust to the altitude. And I wear loose longsleeve cotton shirts in the summer because thinner air means more and faster sunburn.
