maryellen sez "recite something you know by heart. Sounds wacky but before I knew it, I was at the top of the hill."

singing helps!

On a recent club ride coach Lorri Lee Lown of the Velo Girls told me she has songs for all occaisions; sprint songs, long hill songs, steep hill songs, downhill songs...I'm not that organised but singing while climbing works for me.

Just warning if you ride with me, it's usually disco.
