First metric

[short cut sally]

WOOO HOOOO on your metric. Way to go..
Can't offer advise on your finger though..just wanted to congradulate you...

[Flybye]

Yeah for you! What a great accomplishment - hugs and pride!!!

Numbness - someone on TE had a finger problem and realized that they were cinching their gloves up too tight. Easy fix. Kind of like realizing that the TV doesn't work when the problem is that it isn't plugged in!

Again, yeah for you!!!

Yaaaah on the metric. Woooo Whoooo
Now I hope I can make mine on sunday - coming off a cold.

Hands - considering I rode a season with a wrist brace after pinching the ulnar nerve in mine, I hope yours doesn't get worse. I lost hand function for a week... but it came back. My doc (who's a cyclist / bike commuter) had me have my LBS cork my handlebars, get another fitting, this time focusing on hand position. Changing hand position while riding and shaking out your hands helps too. Try to keep your hands light on the bars, no death grips. I've managed to learn my lesson, and haven't repeated the experience. Funny thing, there was no pain involved, it just didn't work when I finished a ride. At least when it "woke up" there were no pins & needles (that's what I was REALLY afraid of).
