    Well, don't ride 10 miles. Save it for the short races.

    When I started riding my Giro 26 I also got numb feet. Usually it started around 15 miles. I would get off the bike and just walk around a little bit and get back on. I fought this for about 2 or 3 weeks and had no more problems.

    Other people have suggested wearing sandals to stop the problem or even looser shoes. In my case, I just had to get used to riding this way. btw, on a DF I get numb in the big toe area of on foot and that is worse because some is now permanent.

    You can be real fast for more than a mile too if you keep at it. I just got mine last May; what a difference! Can hardly wait to start riding again...if Spring will get here.

    Well, not everybody has his own short-track in the back yard there, Bro. Bishop!! Maybe you need to get Terry up there to the Funny Farm and show him how short rides are done in the back yard. You might even cure his numb feet.... BTW, I bet Dr. Weil probably has something to say about that...

    Good to hear from ya there Buddy, y'all come see us again sometime, heah?...
