Hi Kathryn,

My hands hurt, too, and it felt like I could never find a comfortable place except when they were in mountain bike position. But then, even the next ride it was better, and now it feels very natural.

I don't know about your feet. Could be the small pedals, and the cleats on your shoes could be in the wrong place, though if LBS set them up, I would doubt that. I've read that long distance bikers move the cleats back a bit from the ball of the foot to prevent foot tiredness. Or you could just have to get used to them. Mine hurt after a while on long rides. It helps a _lot_ to get off and walk around, or just be off the pedals for five minutes, every hour of riding.
