I had worries about going downhill but can now spin pretty well but I do have to use the brake sometimes to keep it all under control. One by one I have got the hang of the local hills - you can measure your progress by how much brake you have to use.
Can't advise on carrying weights. Would a messenger bag be better than panniers? When the big boys wake up they'll advise you on that!
I'm off for my Sunday 10 before breakfast.
