1+ to those who look forward to "their" hills. I'm not exactly sure how long or steep "my" hill is, but when I first started commuting it seemed both long and steep. Gradually it got easier and easier. Now, I look forward to riding it every day. Some days, I take an easy climb, but most days I look forward to trying to fly up it.

Take your time. Feel good and congratulate yourself every time you get to the top. It will get easier, but it is not easy. That's why it's there.
