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?

never speed on a corner you've never took. I ride up the Sandias at least once a month and I still don't speed up that mountain.
