Coach OB's Tuesday Tip: Get sleepy hands while riding? It could be that your are pinching a nerve that runs down the center of your palm and into your arm. This can cause "sleepy hands". The picture shows your carpal bone in the lower inside portion of each hand as your palm faces you.
This should be the first point of contact on your handlebars. If on your hoods or in your drops, this bone should “absorb” the majority of the pressure in your hands.
If on your hoods, your hand is “draped” over the hoods. Carpel bone just behind the break lever. Two fingers on the brakes, two behind the brakes. For those with good memory, this one one of my first Facebook posts as a coach!

From Greg Tombragel:
For many years, ever since I starting cycling and racing, I've watched the Hyde Park Blast Pro 1/2 race and been in love. I've raced pretty much every category over the years- cat 5, cat 4, cat 3, Masters, etc. I've always watched the Pro 1/2 later the night after I raced and thought 'some day...some day I'm going to man up and do that race and survive and finish it!' Last year, I tried and failed...
Well, last night was "Some Day"...
With Coach OB's help and guideance this year, last night was one of the finest and most proud moments of my cycling career. I've won a bunch of races, raced at nationals, etc. But finishing the Blast is something I've always wanted to do, partly because it is so hard. It is the pinnacle of bike racing within 100 miles of Cincinnati. I finished last night, 28th, just out of the money.
But finish I did, dream realized, would not have every made it without Coach OB guiding the way. You Rock, Bro. YOU ROCK!
