You've already gotten plenty of good advice about the hills.
But - and this is just a matter of curiosity, not a challenge - why did you quit cycling when the pandemic hit? Outdoor activities were one thing that didn't change a bit, in fact were recommended for recreation vs. indoor fitness clubs, classes, etc. The bike industry boomed.
