Now I have to figure out how to stop my nose from running like a faucet in the cold. I'm already feeling increased stamina. A 10mi. ride that would have exhausted me two weeks ago is no problem now and quite enjoyable.

If the numbness is anything BETWEEN your legs (perineum or your package), it's because you are pressuring the nerves or blood vessels there. That's not good and potentially serious.

If the numbness is basically your a$$ (sit bones and butt muscles) then that's conditioning.
