When I'd posted the last blog, "Ten feet down", I suddenly wondered why I'd posted a blog exclusively about prayer on my cycling blog, and re-posted it on my prayer blog. Then, thinking about it later, I realised how the 'ten feet under' idea fits in with cycling, particularly hill climbing. That's the state of mind you need to conquer those hills. Ride them as if you're riding on the level. The hills are just like waves, only they don't move as much. They're just ripples on the landscape. Ride downhill just like you were on the level too. I suppose on solid ground, the "ten feet under' analogy doesn't work so well - we could invert and say ten feet up above the highest hill on your route is where you need to be cycling.
