Uphill struggle

A beautiful winters day saw us shake the dust off our bikes and head out into the countryside. 5 miles there and 5 miles back was what I was told. What I wasn't told was about the hill I was to encounter on this ride! I've never shot down a hill so quick in my life!...going back up was a completely different story! I think at one point i started rolling back down! I admitted defeat and begrudgingly (although a little relieved) got off my bike and pushed it the rest of the way! Aim now is to beat that hill by the end of the summer! Or at least find an alternative flatter route!
