Now my endurance is another thing altogether. 30 minutes of straight riding today KILLED ME. My legs and "cardio" system were shot. I know this is something that will improve in time, and although really hard on me during the biking, afterwards I feel great. I haven't felt as "relaxed" as I do now in years.

I find myself putting a lot of weight on my handlebars, and more specifically, the bottom part on my palm, near the wrist. Any tips on what can help that? gloves or raising the bars a bit perhaps?

thanks!
I know its easier said than done, but try using your "core" to help hold your body up, and be light on the bars... This, too, will improve ovr time. All this, fo course, after you're sure your bike is fit to you properly.

Oh, and BTW, thanks for sharing--posts like yuors are very inspirational.
