I can remember going a half-mile uphill without pedaling,
thanks to the wind that day.

And I remember going down a steep hill, pedalling as hard as I could,
and thinking that if there had been a snail on the road, it would have
been gaining on me.

One of my favored routes in Phuket has a hill like that. It is
downhill; you can see that it is downhill... but if you stop peddling
you slow down and stop.

I've nicknamed it "Heartbreak Hill" :-)
