Would upgrade be worth it?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Of course. I'm no superman.

When I do get to areas with hills, they are legit. There are some good hills around Phoenix, but they are 30 miles of more from home. I don't often get over to the areas with real climbs, but there are a few small hills near me where 40+ is the norm.

East of Phoenix is legit, and so is South Mountain. I live NW of Phoenix, and it's pretty flat, but there are some little hills that can give you some speed.
