We have the same issue in OK, but he is right. Sometimes you just ride 10mph. We had an organised ride here where I was going downhill and could not get in the big ring since it was in a 45mph headwind. It was torture but a better and harder workout than I expected. Work hard and we get stronger. (remember, we don't have the same hills here in the flatlands)
