Thanks for the help.
I'm no expert. But what has helped me is:
--Enjoy yourself first of all. Have fun, and don't let all your riding be so incredibly focused on the (many) particulars.
--Let your legs do the work
--Let your lower body support most of the upper body.
This may sound stupid, but at one point I had to tell myself: "Let go. Give yourself to the bike." You'll feel the difference when it happens, and you'll know it. Don't stress about it.
