I gain a certain satisfaction from biking up big hills off road.

I hate going up big hills whether they are on or off road. However I love
getting up to the top and for some reason I tend to seek them out. I have
even been known to turn right around and do the same hill back over again.

That is extreme - seek professional help immediately.

What's wrong with that? I found the only way I was going to get better
was to seek out the tallest tree in the forest and cut it down with...
uh... I mean seek out the tallest mountain and repeatedly climb it,
establishing benchmark times and speeds to guage my progress. It's
tough work, but it is rewarding, especially when you see the top in
diffrent light, sunset, variation in cloud cover, etc. (I even saw a
juvenile mountain like last year!) My climb of choice is Santa Rosa Lea
in the Forest of Nisene Marks (near Aptos, CA.)

I think he is implying that there are no hills around where I live and to an
extent he is correct.

I know of which you say. I used to live in a place so flat you could
see the horizon in all directions. The best hills in town were burms
left from ancient lakes and rivers, nothing more than 5 or 6 metres.
Now I live surrounded by hills and low mountains, and climbs over 800m
are plentiful and some with very steep gradients.

Hehe, well it's not that bad. But I don't have anything over 80 meters
anywhere around. That's actually why I have to turn around and do the same
hill again.
