Fit for the hills?

[Celeste]

Hills are definitely as much of a psychological battle as a physical one. Don't focus on getting to the top, just keep turning those pedals and focus on your form and your gears.

Thank you ladies! I too am having some hill anxiety. And reading these replies has helped.

I am training with TNT for a century ride and recently upgraded to the Lake Tahoe, "Americas Most Beautiful Bike Ride". The other century ride I had signed up for was very flat...Not the Tahoe ride!

We have begun hill training but am very anxious about it. Tomorrow will be our first "big hill" training and I am so nervous! The weather is supposed to be bad as well so that will make the training even more challenging.

Any other hill climbing advice you have would be helpful.
