46 miles on a hybrid

[mimitabby]

I started to hurt towards the end....crotch ,butt ,my fingers were tingling ,and my wrist hurt,but when I finished I was happy ,and ready to try a Century (when I get my road bike in March.) The group of bikers I was with were so nice.
This is only the 3erd month I've ridden. I'm hooked. I'm thinking about getting a Trek pilot 2.1. Does anyone have one ,and do they like them.

about your wrist and your fingers, what you need to do on a long ride is move your hands around. if you keep them in exactly the same place for 50 miles, they are going to hurt.
something i like to do on a long straightaway, i take one hand and grab the back of my saddle. Then i put it back on the handlebars and reverse, put the other hand on the back of the saddle. it's a good stretch.

keep it up, you're doing great
