We are all proud of you! You and trekkie did a great job!!!!

Now that the "the hill" is beaten, time to find a BIGGER steeper hill!

Your hill will call the bigger badder hill and tell him you and Trekkie are un-stop-able

Man I remember when the 800 ft climb from monterey into Laguna Seca was almost impossible and walked half of it. The next year I was prepared and pwnd without putting my foot down. Mental, Purely Mental.

Ok, can I laugh at Neil instead?

Allen: Now, continue to practise going up that hill again and again and again. It will get easier.

If his bike is really named Trekkie, shouldn't it have been able to beam him up the hill?

Huh. Seems like you're going pretty damned fast for a hill that's (almost) kicking your butt! I'm usually down around 6mph when I'm dying. What's your low gearing?
