A lot of people don't cycle in hilly areas – makes sense really
The original SLA battery was far too heavy for my hilly area and killed any decent cycling. However, even with the new battery the hills take their toll. I have learnt that the best roads here are the main 'A' roads (even if they are full of traffic). If you go off on to the 'B' roads or the 'unclassified' roads here in North Cornwall (with it's deep valley’s) it's not long before you are faced with an impossible to ride hill
There are many such hills close to were I live - so I just take the long route round
