    Unlikely to be age if its just on the new bike. I find I get odd hand pains if I keep them in the same place too long - I tend to keep swapping hand position.

    I did get new gel filled gloves recently - that did help.

    You do 7 hours a day? I didn't think the car wash was open that long?

    Very nice it is too, although after cycling home (about 15 miles) my hands were very sore - not used to the riding position, so think I'll have to do a few short rides to get accustomed to it. Hope it's a temporary thing.
