I hear ya. I used to hate hills on the MTB too. I used to ride the back way into Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, and there is a huge hill that you have to go up to get to the trails. When I started, I would have to get off and push/carry the bike up it. As I rode more and more, I got better and better, and could finally make it up it.
Its a great feeling when you finally accomplish something like that. Even better when you pass others doing it. As they say, its all down hill after that. LOL
