Eric, I assume the bike you'll be riding is the one shown on your wheelsnorth site. You're a brave man...
I'd suggest that you use something like the Spenco gloves, or those recommended by David Sprunger (Blue Gel). I've used the Spenco gloves in the past and found them to be good for alleviating discomfort from longer distance rides (certainly not 1,000 miles however!). Spenco also made gel handlebar grips if you can find any. Good Luck! Jim On May 25, 5:34 pm, Eric Norris <campyonly...@me.com> wrote: > Unfortunately, that's not an option with the bike I'm riding.
