Quoted By:
Hills can be a pain. I live in a particularly hilly region in the Ozarks of the southern USA, right on the edge of the plains. It goes from the hilly dissected plateau where I'm at right now to the open plains of Oklahoma, less than a few miles away.
The longest I've ever ridden in this hill country was 39 miles in the cool of spring, and I'm pretty sure I almost hurt myself. I have been attracted to the idea of my plains neighbors to the west, the idea of being able to ride 80 miles in a day and not be dead exhausted, naught but a hurt bum.
But the hills make it so pretty that they're worth it.
