Sore wrists

[OakLeaf]

Well, gloves should correlate to foot size.

Only if you wear your gloves on your feet?


- Oak, women's small gloves (and they have to be women's, because of the thumb placement), and size 10-1/2 E shoes.

I'm such a newbie, I've only been back into cycling for 4 months. Yesterday, riding with my husband, we passed several riders stopped under a shady tree, drinking water and laughing. Hmmm, at the next shady spot, we stopped and had a drink. I stretched the kink in my neck, I rotated my wrists, twisted my back around.
When we got back on our bikes, I felt so much better. In fact, when we finished our ride (about 30 miles rolling hills), I was tired, but not in pain.
I think when we started riding again, we felt we couldn't or shouldn't stop ever. Now, I know that I will probably take a short break when I start to get sore or stiff, relax, shake it off, and then move on.

I've been riding for 3 years, and we (DH and I) always stop and take a quick break (no more than 10 minutes otherwise my knees stiffen up) on our rides. I have a messed up back, along with wrist/hand/finger issues...so I absolutely have to stop and stretch things out a bit, every 30-40 miles.
