Don't let some dude who couldn't climb a hill...or any hill for that matter, get you all psyched out before you have even tried riding it. If you get your heart rate in a tizzy before you even begin, you're gonna have a bad day. Hills are just something you gotta climb to get anywhere worth going...deal with em as they come in whatever way you can, but don't let them get your panties in a bunch beforehand.

"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
