Don't even notice the bumps in the flatlands of East Yorkshire now after doing a few rides over here in Norway on 'proper' hills.
Hills!They are a great leveller!

Try living up here. This is the view from my dining room window. Going anywhere is fine, getting home is another matter! Hills, don't talk to me about hills!

Hills are 'interesting' but on an off day they can be a struggle. Some hills, such as those seen in the TdF etc. would always be a struggle for me but I'd still like getting to the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TBH I would swap you readily, it might be just me though I can't see the misses agreeing to it.

Yep, 1400 feet up and all the fresh air you can inhale...
Favourite days are when the valley below fills with fog and it looks like you're above the clouds:

I have promised to sell the house as soon as I get bored with the view. I'll put you top of the list of people who will deserve it more than I when that happens.... but don't hold your breath!
Funny isn't it, we find a rural idyll and the missus thinks of all the disadvantages. Last year it was mice (don't ask) and this year it's her having to carry the wet washing back from the stream three miles away. Don't think I'm not generous though, I've bought her a spade so she can dig a more convenient well.

Hills Kill me.
I have cycled up 1 particular Hill 30 times now. After the Christmas break it was back to work and tackle the hill. I stopped twice but this is a combination of little exercise and the cold weather as I have managed to get up without stopping I hope come May I will be able to go up up with out nearly dying !
PS The hill is 1 mile long !

You can't consider yourself a true hillclimber until you've been up one so steep, you scrape your nose on the tarmac.
