I had my first lengthy ride on Saturday... My butt is just a tad sore, but fine otherwise. But
ever since the ride I have this weird tremor in my thumb, where if I hold my hand a certain way it
spazzes out. Possible from the ride?

det

Do you wear gloves?

gloves help to prevent pressure points on the ulnar nerve. By "Not that trip" it suggests you have
some gloves. i would recommend you wear them for rides longer than a "quickie". it can actually
cause damage to the nerve if you forget gloves for too many long rides.

I recall seeing some gel padded grips a while back, though i can't seem to find them anywhere, but
those may help should you forget the gloves again.

This is a stage that all people here seem to have gone through. the sacred knowledge of the ulnar
nerve has been bestowed upon you ;-)

A combination of decent gloves and a looser grip on the bars should help alleviate this problem. A
lot of people grip the bars way too hard when they start out.

Gawd, at least it's not MS or something bad like that... I'll wear my gloves!

Could be a nerve, but it could also be an overworked muscle I think. Gloves and loosening your grip,
as suggested, should alleviate the problem.
