Thanks tulip - my BF calls them horns and he rides alot but I thought it sounded funny!

I do TOTALLY tense up - more our of fear since I went clipless. So I'm thinking that that could be the culprit. I work at an architecture firm but one of our architects is also an MD and she said it sounds like overuse of that muscle. And that I should try to relax, ice, and take ibuprofen. Also try to reduce the actions that have caused it. Which I think is the shifting, water bottle, etc.

Other than cycling and working I don't do much. But I'm on a computer all day long - maybe its a mouse thing. At home I have a laptop with a trackpad. I'll just try laying off of it a bit and relaxing when I ride and icing it. I really want to do this ride in 3 weeks so I'm just going to try to endure it a bit.

THANKS!
