All of the above and one more tip. Stay hydrated. Before tackling a long or a tough climb, take a few sips. There's nothing worse than getting a cramp in the middle of a climb.

And yeah, I've passed people on hills while doing 12-15 mph still seated. Just keep at it. At the beginning of the year I would have totally bonked on the same hills.

No argument, but it seems you were trying to totally discredit tsl.

Did the "No argument" part of the sentence modify the rest?

In real life, this seems like ordinary old imperfect communication.
