all the more reason to NOT avoid them... I recall in the past when I was just starting to ride seriously, avoiding certain hills in the area... finally got sick of my own attitude toward hills and started grinding 'em out... it certainly wasn't pretty at first but I learned better technique and control... the hill climbing power just naturally came as a result... now I find myself going out of my way TO RIDE the hills...
don't avoid and be patient... good luck
