Since returning to the road I have also encountered the return of a moderate degree of hand numbness. 15'ish years ago when I was riding I had the same issue and it basically just went away over time. I seem to be repeating that process.

I went out for a 2 hour 15 minute ride today with a markedly reduced amount of hand numbness (but not zero). What was interesting is that for the first time I did not wear cycling gloves. I'm familiar with changes in cycling gloves affecting the hand numbness issue. But I've never heard of a pair of gloves making it worse (vs. wearing nothing). Anyone else encountered that?

Thanks.
