Snap--thanks a lot. That looks very useful. The article describes the pain well. I'll start with the exercises today. I have that book, Stretching. Didn't occur to me to use it for this! I am so bad with the stretching...I just forget. Haven't yet incorporated it as a discipline.

I know that I keep a lot of tension in my last two fingers when I'm riding, and grip the handle bars pretty tightly in general. I need to learn to be alert, but not tense.

Funny to say it, but another thing that's changed this year is that I type a lot more on a daily basis--posting at TE! Hmmm...any suggestions for "healthier" wrist stuff at the computer?
