[QUOTE=Trucker_JDub;6140118]
- The gloves I have been using are thin leather/nylon fingerless gloves like what some would use for weight lifting. I find them comfortable for weight lifting, and they feel good while riding (I was not wearing them during the ride in question - could be part of the problem)

Go down to the bike shop and get yourself some proper biking gloves with some good padding in them. Good gloves make a big difference, they reduce pressure on nerves in the hands.

-Also I'm thinking about seeing what I have out in the garage as far as handle bars and see if I have one thats a little longer and put some bar ends (that I already have) on it to add more grip options.

Bar ends do help, and since you already have some, why not!

Good luck! Some of the aches and pains we encounter early in cycling get better as we become better conditioned or tougher.
