Just one month ago, this wimpy little hill would leave me panting and gasping for breath at the top... now that hill is like nothing to me!
There's a hill I go up on my commute each day. I still huff and puff on my way up - but I'm going up in higher and higher gears.
If I'd been told a couple of months back that I could reach the peak in anything other than my lowest gear I would have said, "Yeah - right."
I've now got a couple of cogs left to try before I need to slip it into the big ring to go up.
There are probably lots of other cyclist who could do that hill better and faster than me - but I know that I'm improving and that's what matters.
