Embrace the hill -- you know you want to. Wallow in the long glorious down hill, then enjoy the challenge of getting back up again.
Just think of the overwhelming sense of accomplishment you'll get when you conquer your nemesis. Then it'll be, "hmm, wasn't so bad. Now, when can I do that again, and how can I do it in a bigger gear?"
