BICYCLISTS: Hills are all a matter of perspective

I have some hard-core bicyclists in my family, so I shouldn't be surprised at what a tough breed these athletes are. On my way home from errands this morning (Walmart for buttons, Foxy Loxy for iced coffee) I saw a guy pedaling doggedly up the long, steep hill on my road. (Just walking up this hill gets your heart rate going.)
I rolled down my window as I drove past him.
"This is a tough hill. Good job!" I said.
"This is an easier one," he replied. "I gave up on the hard ones."
