Hey France - GREAT job out there!!

Your first experience on that hill was every bit of what I went thru last year . I got nervous on the hills, too - And then, while you're in the middle of this a car shows up!!!

Each time you do that hill, you'll get stronger and learn more about your skills/breathing...and the hill that proves tough this season will be a mere humpy--dee--hump to power up and over next season!

ps - I have found that when I know a car is approaching, I concentrate on: the road directly in front, my relaxed breathing and maintaining cadence. Sounds like juggling, but it all comes together quite well.
