Had to accelerate off the entry ramp onto the hill.
Shifted to 6th to soon, lost MPH, That is a short hill, but
I think steeper than it looks,.

This sounds like some of the bone head things they do in OK. Hey, I know, let's put a tool booth at the bottom of a valley so that when folks slow down to go through they have to start from the bottom and do it pulling a 1/2 mile long grade. Brilliant I say. How 'bout we put them at the top of a hill so that gravity helps slow traffic coming up to it and helps them get going again when leaving....is that so hard of a concept? Retards, I say.
