No gloves, but I've had the same problem even with my gloves. I'm not sure how much of the problem is just about getting used to this specific bike and how much of it is a fit issue. I might switch out the saddle to see if that changes anything. I guess my confession is I'm afraid this bike doesn't fit me right.
Sounds like a fit issue. If you can do a century and not feel pain, but 11 miles hurts on this new bike, then it is most def a fit issue.
