And I usually try to ride up one of the shorter (probably only twenty-something feet as the crow flies) aforementioned hills in a 53x17. (Or something like that, maybe an 18.)
Forgiven.
It's funny; I'm new to road biking and until recently i HATED climbs. Being out of shape sucks! Now that my cardio is far better than a few months ago, I can't bear riding on flat roads. Almost to the point I would rather throw my bike into my SUV and drive four miles to the bottom of my favorite climb than ride there.
