I don't race either, but I do like to do tours and 1 day fun rides. I live in a very flat part of the US, so the wind is one of my riding partners. When I go on a tour that has lots of hills, you better believe that I have to train for them. I know I have a very long hill coming this year with upwards of 12% grade. If you think I can just ride when its nice and overcome that, well you believe in me more than I do.
