Do hills have rhythm

I think so. There are hills that sing to me.

SOmetimes it's rhythm & blues, though.

Hi Steve and Vo2 and everybody it's been a while.

Apart from waiting for the obvious jokes (come on I'm dying to hear them) it's a serious question.

Do hills have a rhythm that is best suited to them ? I ask this question because today I climbed a hill and it felt just right.
The tempo was right, the gearing was right and the speed was lovely😄. Is hill climbing about working out the rhythm of the hill along with the effort involve ?

I think so Lazarus-G. I've had the experience that hills on a regular training route were HELL because I could not keep my rythm. I've also found that riding in a bunch slower than me breaks the rythm and makes the hill sing something by Sepultura or AC/DC.

Ewep AC/DC, my god that takes me back to my youth.
1981 Donington Monsters of Rock Festival😄 18 years old wide eyed and looking for life.

Back to the subject though the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's about finding a good rhythm and then nailing it.😄 though I haven't had chance to try it out this week🙁 .
I've just spent the week behind the wheel of a car screaming at the missus and kids "will you look at this hill it's awesome" only to be greeted with total apathy🙁 , but what do they know thet don't ride.

Lazarus-g,

I would say yes, there's a rhythm. I think the rhythm is not held exclusively in the hill as much as it is in the rider + the hill. When I meet the hill in my zone, it's purely rhythmic.

I think most of the hills I climb are playing hip-hop... 🙂
