I have regular PI gloves that seem to be in the large size, so will take both pairs next week and start with the larger pair. If they are TOO bulky then will pay a visit to the bike store in Yellow Springs. I wish that I had known the Gel Vents run small...they were not cheap.

Zen and Zoom-Zoom, I suspect you are right about the funky wrist position thing. I've no idea how to adjust my bars or the Ergon grips on my Trek, but have spoken with my fitter - he suspects the same thing. I wouldn't know in what way to adjust them if I did know how, so it is better I don't mess with it. Once we've finished with my LHT, he said that he can take a quick look at this bike and see what he can do with the knowledge he has learned from my LHT - for no charge - it probably doesn't need much. If it turns out to need more attention than that, I will get it re-fitted.

So I will just take more frequent breaks to give my hands a little relief until I get back home next week. It isn't like I will have a time schedule to keep
