Absolutely. I used to plan my routes to avoid hills. Now I try to work as many hills as I can into my routes.
I always preach to new riders in our bike club that learning to climb hills is the doorway to enjoying cycling. Where I live, you are just too limited in where you can ride if you don't climb.
