elbows

[Grog]

Take it easy at first: it's normal that some parts of your anatomy hurt because your core muscles needed for cycling are not very developed yet. You may also be leaning too much on your arms and not bending your elbow enough...

However, elbow pain can indicate tendonitis and you don't want to go there. Last year I had excruciating pain in my left elbow, it was really killing me after my first metric century. It started by 3/10 pain after my first 60-ish rides but was greatly increased as time in the saddle piled up. I went to the bike shop. Turns out that, according to the charts and to the length of my forearm, my stem was already too short, but we still brought the handlebars one hair closer (by flipping the side of the stem, which has some angle to it) and after that (and a few days of rest to let the pain subside) I was fine. So fitting only goes so far.

When I started longer rides this February I had some pain between the shoulders again - time to rebuild those endurance muscles - but never anymore elbow pain.

Just a thought here... do you have aero bars, smiley?
Did you use them?
One of my elbows/outside of forearm gives me jib when my aeros aren't "just so" - but angling them differently by millimetres and I have no pan at all.

On a different note, if you are using your drops and didn't have them on old bike, then your weight of your upper body resting on your arms will compound any jarring or tension on your elbows.

I used to get aching in my hands as they got used to the levers/braking, and in my elbows and upper arms from the new angle I was asking my body to perform at. However, as your body "gets used" to the different demands it should begin to ease.

However, as Grog's post suggests, listen to your body and be careful it is not something like tendonitis...

Good luck
