Congrats on joining the psyco-cyclist club. Bet your taint is a little sore too. That goes away pretty quick. My bit of advice (other than shoes and pedals ) is learn to breathe through your nose and mouth at the same time. It takes practice, but once you have it riding hard is a lot easier. Plus you won't get light headed at the top of the climb. Another tip on hills is pedal over the top and keep pedaling and increasing gears on the back side. The beginner will coast after the top, if you keep pedaling your body will recover faster. Have fun and just get out there and ride.
