The 1st practice. Flat area : Front (Left hand) 2, Back (Right hand) 4, and then
Up-slope: Front 2, Back 3 or 2, and then
Down-slope: Front 2, Back 4, 5, or bigger
This practice shouldn't be so hard. I just keep in mind to pedal faster than usual for up-slope.
The 2nd practice. Flat area: Front 2, Back 4/ Up-slope: Front 1, Back 4/ Down-slope: Front 2, Back 4, 5, or 6
Left gear changing might be tricky for me. Mr. wp gave advice some, so I will do it ahead of time. I hope I can remember what I'm going to do.
And one more big challenge will be ride on 1'' higher seat.
I'm not sure about this, because I was scared to do it before.
Well, Practice 1 went very well. At the beginning I had a hard time to get used to a faster pedal speed, but after 10 mins. I was OK. The seat got higher and it made pedaling easier for me. That's great!
I found it quite difficult changing front gear. Because I had to use clumsy left hand and also gear is quite heavy. I decided not to change the front gear until it's really necessary, as I've done before.
Once I got used to pedaling faster, biking got really fun. We biked round and round for at least 6 miles or more.
We got a craving for carbohydrate so we made our own ice cream sundae.
It's almost midnight now, and we are really tired.
