I am someone who lives in a very flat area, not a single hill. Suppose I was taking a road trip and had to go up and down some mountains, what tips should I consider to be safe? How do I avoid ruining my clutch or my breaks?

Turn your shoulders toward the apex

Yep, look where you want to go, not where you don't want to go.

It's so weird how our brains work - even after decades on 2 wheels, I sometimes look at what I want to avoid, and, well, I don't avoid it then.
