Welcome to the forum GZgirl. I don't want to rain on your parade, but the GZ is too underpowered to handle hill climbs. It does best at two lane cruiser speeds of 55 to 65mph on relatively level roads. If you do some elevation changes, you will find yourself downshifting to 4th and even 3rd gear and their correlating speeds (35 to 45mph).
If this is your first bike, it is the perfect starter to learn the skills necessary to be a safe rider, but if you want the kind of riding I think you want, you will need to upgrade at some point in time to a more powerful machine.
Safe riding.
