Euromodder brings up a good point. I'm not sure how steep or long your hill is, but I can think of one on my normal route that I now handle differently. Now that I peak it at a slightly [~5-7mph] slower speed, I'm much better off. Naturally, the amount of speed you can bleed off going uphill will be determined by whether or not there is a driver behind you.
