I live in the Ozarks. There are hills here. There seems to be a formula that is rather repetitive. Mount Motherf...er on the climbing side, followed by Breakneck Hill on the other side. When you figure out the secret to riding hills, please let me know. I just go slow up and refuse to give up, and then go Wheee! on the downgrade. Sometimes on Breakneck Hill I wind up riding in the grass with heart pounding a tattoo of relief that we are still upright!
