Just recently, when I'm the first one taking off with a group, I've been saying, "Catch me if you can!" Sometimes we are about to climb and there's no doubt whatsoever that I will be caught and passed immediately. But on a downhill, watch out!

Near the end of a 72 mile ride, after having done 74 the previous day, and now at the end it seemed there was hill after hill after hill, I finally started yelling out, "I LOVE hills! Hills are my FAVORITE! Bring on the hills!" It started out as a goofy thing to say for no good reason, but I decided it really did mentally help!
