Could just look at it as your daily hill sprint challenge. I have a shorter but similarly steep hill that climbs about 200ft over half a mile, as part of my 6.5 mile commute. Some days I just grind it out at 10mph or so, but when I'm feeling spry I make it a challenge to see if I can keep my speed from bottoming out below, say, 15 or 17 mph. Keeps it interesting.

I will say this - if you attack that hill every day, you'll end up with legs like tree trunks. After doing my hill on a heavy old-school steel bike every day during winter, I've found I'm a fair bit faster this spring than I was last fall.

Basically, make that hill your b*tch.
