    Elbow pain

    I've been riding my road bike for a few weeks now. This is my first road bike, so at first my shoulders, back, private region, and elbows were all getting pretty sore during and after my rides. After making some adjustments and getting several rides under my belt, the bike is comfortable and everything feels pretty good........... except my elbows. They start to hurt after awhile, and even now, several hours after my ride, they hurt if I extend them all the way.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas about what might be causing it or how I can prevent it? The pain isn't horrible, but it is definitely noticeable and I don't want to give my poor elbows any permanent problems.

    Are they straight or drop bars? Do you think they might be too wide for you? Do you have a slight bend in your elbow when you ride?
    This kind of sounds like tennis elbow
