I did it...I did it. I rode in a local charity event yesterday planning to do 50 miles. Got talking to a couple of other ladies with same plan, but thinking about doing the metric. They were just ahead of me at the turn for the 50, but kept going. I thought, if they can do it so can I. It's good thing I didn't realize I'd have a pretty good headwind on the trek back or I wouldn't have done it. But I did............and I can still walk today. LOL.
This brings me to a little problem I've started having. I am getting numbness in the tip of my left middle finger when I ride further than about 20 miles. I change hand positions frequently, but I am obviously still compressing a nerve. It usually goes away after a few hours, but I am still feeling the effects from yesterday this morning. Any ideas?
