Hey all,
New to this forum. I usually do a fair amount of both mountain and road cycling but have gotten kinda a late start this year due to a medical condition. Anyways couple days ago I went for a nice 20-25 mile ride on my newly tuned aluminum frame Trek road bike. This bike has standard road bike handle bars with drops though I ride on the hoods 80% of the time. After the ride I noticed that the tendon and or ligaments between my thumb and forefingers on both hands were sore and uncomfortable. So much so that it’s fairly uncomfortable to pick up a cup or other object. It does seem to be improving with time, but I fear I’m just going to re-injure it with time.
Does anyone have any advice to prevent, or mitigate this?
Thanks,
Doug
