Try using cruise control. I use mine all the time on steep grades. I manually lock in the appropriate gear to hold the speed.
I keep forgetting to try this; need to write it on my forehead I guess....:B
It really works well. If you speed up just touch the brakes n hit resume. I select the gear I would climb the hill in. Sometimes you need to set speed 5 mph slower than u want to descend. Bottom line experiment.
