winterbadger...is that from then on, that's the thing to beat.
I went for a ride this evening after working late (yay DST!) And I cycled the usual #2 route (loop, Highland, Overbrook, Crestview). Then I added Hillside. THEN I *pedalled* ALL THE WAY UP THE BIG HILL! (Gosh, sopund like I'm 6, don't I?) Then I was so excited, I did the loop again. Average speed down to 8.3 mph, but nearly 3 miles and I can say I went all the way up that without walking at least once. Didn't have any momentum to speak of, either, because coming down Hillside I saw a car coming down the Big Hill, so I braked a good deal so as to avoid coming up on him too fast.

My current big hill is Hogback Mountain near Leesburg. In three attempts I've never made it to the top without walking. Maybe this year will be my year.
