But after >only a couple weeks I One thing you can do on very hard hills until you get them conquered is to pull into a side street about halfway up, or when you feel overexerted. Then ride down the side street a few yards (they're usually flat) and recover and turn around. Tthen pull back out onto the hill with a bit of momentum and complete the hill. I have a long 4 mile hill that I sometimes get calf cramps riding, and have had to use this tactic a few times. It usually only takes about 20 seconds to recover and get going again. HTH |
