If I pedal my pansy geared bike up the mountain without dropping to the small ring, my knees complain about it for several days.

Seriously dug, it doesn't make sense that it would be hog hollow. Have you EVER seen a farm with ONE hog? If that hollow was ever a home to a hog, then it is a sure bet that it was home to more than one hog, making it at the very least, hogs hollow, if not what Fatty suggested. Maybe it should be hollow of hogs. I am overwhelmed by waves of bike envy, and I sincerely hope that you are a very slow climber on the single speed.
